The 3060 Series RF combiners are PXI modules designed specifically for RF
component and radio terminal system test. They are high-performance RF
conditioning modules supplied in a compact single-slot 3U PXI package. The
Series is comprised of three different modules each addressing a particular
application, these are the 3060, 3061 and 3065.
Integrated RF switch and power combiners
Frequency range up to 2.7 GHz or 6 GHz
Fast response RF switching
Internally stored calibration data
2 year calibration cycle
Single slot 3U high
The modules are ideally suited for use in RF test systems in conjunction with
Aeroflex's 3020 Series RF signal generators and 3030 Series RF digitizer
modules. Together these modules enable the development of compact,
high-performance, low-cost, modular RF test systems. The 3060 Series RF
combiners avoid the need for extraneous RF signal conditioning development in
the test fixture, thereby simplifying test system design.
In addition to providing summing of signals the 3060 Series modules support
various input and output switched path configurations to enable testing of
single port and multi port RF devices and to enable test system internal
calibration without the need to disconnect the test subject.
The 3060 Series combiner modules are supplied fully calibrated with frequency
response data stored internally. This data can be read by the test system and
used to offset stimulus input level in the signal generator and correct
measurement results from the digitizer. In this way, calibration to the plane of
the DUT connection point is maintained. The module also provides direct switch
connection between input ports to enable test system end-to-end calibration.
