ASCOR Series 8800 Common-Core Based Switching Platform Introduction NEW Giga-tronics ASCOR common-core based RF & microwave signal switching solutions, the series 8800. This family of products provides a modular RF/LF/DC switching platform that is scalable and reconfigurable to meet existing and emerging test requirements, covering the DC to 67 GHz frequency range. Scalability and reconfigure-ability are achieved in a number of ways:  Wide signal bandwidth and frequency ranges: DC to 67 GHz  Broad range of switch components including SPDT to SP8T, Transfer and Star switches  Signal handling capability low-level through high-power  Integration of a wide variety of signal conditioning components  Hundreds of existing designs Key Features • Configurable RF/Microwave switch modules. The standard Series 8800 has 12 switch modules which can be equipped with various relay configurations, including multiple SPDT through SPnT (n=3-8) relays both terminated and non-terminated varieties. Other relay configurations are available. Modules can be added or replaced when test requirements change. • Component integration area. Should other signal conditioning components be required, there is a place to add components such as programmable attenuators, amplifiers, filters, circulators / isolators, and power dividers /combiners. • Removable front and rear panels. Front and rear panels can be tailored to a specific application, including with custom labels for intuitive RF interconnection. Relays can also be mounted directly to the panel to maximize relay performance (relative to internally integrated relays which will have additional cable loss and increased path VSWR). In addition, when test requirements change, the panels can be replaced with ones that are more specific to the new application. This allows re-use of the common-core of relays and other components for other projects. • Combinable with Low-Frequency/DC/Digital/DMM Modules. The Series 8800 integrates the Giga-tronics ASCOR model GT-8300A. This mainframe accepts the wide variety of Series 3000 modules. With nearly 200 existing designs available, users can supplement the RF switching capability with DC and low frequency switching as well as digital I/O and DMM fu
