Switch Matrix Siglent SSM5142A

Easily Meet Multi-port Test Requirements

SSM5000A series switch matrix can expand the number of test ports of network analyzer, signal source, spectrum analyzer and other equipment. And the series are with up to 4 input ports and up to 24 output ports, supporting USB, LAN, Direct Control communication modes. In addition to SIGLENT instruments, it also supports other mainstream instruments. It is suitable for 19-inch standard chassis and can be widely used in multi-port test environments such as antennas and 5G component modules.

Network Analyzer Test Port Extension

The switch matrix is used to expand the test ports of network analyzer and measure S parameters of multiple devices, according to the specific test requirements, the matrix switch can be extended into 24 single ports, 12 full 2 ports, 8 full 3 ports, 6 full 4 ports, 4 full 6 ports, 3 full 8 ports, 2 full 12 ports, 1 full 24 ports, etc. The figure below shows scaling to 4 full 6 ports. DUT1 , DUT2 , DUT3 and DUT4 devices can be tested by software, greatly improving the test efficiency.

Signal Generator and SA Test Port Extension

Using a switch matrix with a signal source and spectrum analyzer, the signal source and spectrum analyzer are extended to 24 ports, which can be used to test the transmission and reception of multiple DUTs. When testing the emission index, the software switches to 24 ports in turn, then the expansion of the signal source is completed; when testing the receiving index, the software can also switch to 24 ports in turn to complete the expansion of the spectrum analyzer. The matrix switch can greatly reduce the number of signal source and spectrum analyzer, save cost and improve test efficiency.
