SM7000 Series


VXI-based Microwave Switch Modules

  • DC to 40 GHz
  • Up to 6 (1x6), 26.5 Ghz in Only One C-size Slot (SM7000D)
  • Building Blocks Range from Dual SPDT Relays to SP6T Relays, Transfer Switches and Relay Drivers
  • Microwave Building Blocks are "Pluggable" from the Front of the VXIbus Card
  • Self-terminated, latching/non-latching options (SM7001A, SM7001L)

The SM7000 series is part of the SMIPII™ family, offering the extensive control and interfacing features provided by SMIPII™. Microwave relay technology has been pioneered to offer density, modularity and cost benefits not available from other VXI suppliers.

Using the SMIPII™ family for microwave switching, the user obtains the following benefits over other VXI microwave switch solutions:

Density: Up to 6 (1x6) microwave relays can be housed in a single VXIbus slot (SM7000D), or up to 4 (1 x 6) terminated relays in a double slot (SM7001A).
Modularity: Each SM7000 series carrier can house multiple building blocks, which can be mixed and matched for the final configuration.
Cost: The SM7000 series has been priced to help reduce the cost of microwave switching by at least 20% from existing solutions.
