60 – 90 GHz, Electro-Mechanical Two-Position Waveguide Switch

535E/387TTL, Switching speed 0.2 sec External & 0.5 sec Manual, Life Span over 1 Million cycles

Description:

Mi-Wave’s 535 Series waveguide switches consists of a waveguide switch selection similar to the 530 switch and a rotary motor encased in a machined housing. These switches are used in application that require remote-controlled or timed transmission line switching. They are particularly useful in operational systems and test setups where they supply variety of switching combinations.

Other frequencies available from 8.2–220 GHz

Electro-Mechanical RF Waveguide Switch Operation

(1) DURING INITIAL POWER UP OR AT A POWER FAILURE ALWAYS HAVE THE EXTERNAL TTL CONTROL LOW (0 V) OR DISCONNECTED .

(2) SWITCH WILL POWER UP IN POSITION -1 AND IN EXTERNAL CONTROL MODE .

(3) TO SELECT SWITCH POSITION MANUALLY, PRESS MANUAL OPERATION BUTTON ON TOP OF HOUSING ONCE, SWITCH WILL MOVE TO POSITION -2 AND SWITCH WILL GLOW BLUE .

(4) TO SELECT POSITION -1 PRESS MANUAL OPERATION BUTTON AGAIN AND SWITCH WILL MOVE TO POSITION -1 AND BE IN EXTERNAL TTL CONTROL MODE

(5) TO USE SWITCH IN EXTERNAL TTL CONTROL, SWITCH MANUAL OPERATION BUTTON MUST BE SELECTED FOR POSITION -1 AND BLUE LIGHT OFF
