Multiplexer Module
The 40-834A-102 (PXI) and 42-834A-102 (PXIe) are 75 Ohm 8 to 1 RF multiplexers with 2 banks in a single slot. They have been designed to exhibit low insertion loss and VSWR through the use of modern RF relay technology at an affordable cost. Each MUX has been carefully designed to ensure excellent and repeatable RF characteristics to frequencies of 3GHz with each path having a nominally equal insertion loss. The design of the 40/42-834A minimizes the injection of noise and unwanted signals into the signal path by careful attention to the mechanical and electrical design.
