Automated RF Test Systems for Satellite Testing
The complexity and high frequencies of new Satellite networks will require a complete overhaul of Satelite infrastructure components and systems, as well as the production facilities and test equipment that builds and supports that infrastructure. Finding reliable RF systems that are compatible with these new requirements will be key to the successful deployment of Satellite.
Matrix Switch
JFW’s 50MS-367 2.9MM is a 4 X 4 blocking matrix switch that operates DC-40 GHz. The RF connectors are 50 Ohm impedance 2.9mm female type located on the rear panel. The unit is remotely controlled via Ethernet or RS-232. This RF matrix switch utilizes our 3.X.X firmware command set for remote control. All unused input ports and unused output ports are self-terminating at 50 Ohms.
Attenuators
The 50PA-1019-XX 2.9 MM is available with up to 16 attenuators. This new series of Ethernet-controlled RF attenuator systems was specifically developed for testing mm-wave and Satellite radios in a laboratory environment. A 100 MHz to 40 GHz bandwidth and attenuation from 0-62dB x 1-dB are ideal for receiver testing and network emulation of Satellite network components. A simple Ethernet/RS-232 interface and standard 2.9 MM RF connectors make integration simple as well.
Bench-Mounted Ethernet Programmable Attenuators
The 50BA-024-62 2.9 MM is a single-channel bench-top attenuator system specifically developed for testing mm-wave and 5G radios in a laboratory environment. A 100 MHz to 40 GHz bandwidth and 0-62dB in 1-dB steps make it ideal for network emulation of Satellite networks. Other configurations and custom variations are also available.
