NI PXI-2597

The National Instruments PXI-2597 is a 6x1 terminated multiplexer switch module designed for routing RF or microwave signals in automated test applications. While designed to operate with less than 1 dB insertion loss up to 26.5 GHz, the NI PXI-2597 appears almost invisible to signals at much lower frequencies as well. Use the PXI-2597 terminated multiplexer when high-power signal reflections are a concern and 50 Ω terminations are required. This module is also well-suited for passing high-order harmonics from RF upconverters, such as the NI PXI-5670 2.7 GHz RF signal generator, or routing multiple sources to RF downconverters, such as the NI PXI-5660 2.7 GHz RF signal analyzer.
