Keysight 34946A/004 – Dual 1×2 SPDT Terminated Microwave Switch Module for 34980A; with 2x N1810TL 4 GHz Terminated Switches

The 34946A and 34947A modules provide single-pole, double-throw switches in 4 GHz, 20 GHz, and 26 GHz options. The 34946A and 34947A modules are also available with no switches installed – but include cable kits that allow you to connect switches external to the module chassis.

The 34946A and 34947A modules do not connect to the analog buses. Instead, all connections are made through the visible SMA connectors via external cables. Each connector on the modules is labeled with a three-digit number that represents a channel you can control programmatically from the front panel or from the Web UI.

The 34946A module (Options 004, 020, 026) has two independent Keysight N1810TL switches. These terminated 3-port 50-ohm switches are designed to maintain impedance matching. The 34947A module (Options 004, 020, 026) contains three independent Keysight N1810UL switches. These higher density 3-port switches are unterminated.

34946A Option 001 contains cables and connectors to support two of the supported switches listed above.

34947A Option 001 contains cables and connectors to support three Keysight N1810UL switches.
