Hardware details
The SSM5000A series has up to 4 input ports and up to 24 output ports supporting USB, LAN and Direct Control communication modes. The Direct Control interface on the switch matrix can further increase the number of test ports and supports a simplified multi-port calibration algorithm, which can greatly improve the efficiency of calibration. In addition to the
Siglent devices, it also supports other brands of devices. It is suitable for 19-inch standard
enclosures and can be widely used in multi-port test environments such as antennas and 5G components.
Product highlights
Test requirements for multiple ports
The SSM5000A series switch matrix can expand the number of test ports of network analysers, signal sources, spectrum analysers and other devices. And the series has up to 4 input ports and up to 24 output ports and supports USB, LAN and Direct Control communication modes. In addition to SIGLENT instruments, other mainstream instruments are also supported. It is suitable for 19-inch standard enclosures and can be widely used in test environments with multiple ports such as antennas and 5G component modules.
Expansion of the network analyser test port
The switch matrix is used to expand the test ports of the network analyser and measure S-parameters of multiple devices. According to the specific test requirements, the matrix switch can be expanded to 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 following illustration shows the scaling to 4 full 6 ports. DUT1, DUT2, DUT3 and DUT4 devices can be tested via software, which significantly improves test efficiency.
Signal generator and SA test port extension
Using a switching matrix with signal source and spectrum analyser, the signal source and spectrum analyser are expanded 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 one after the other to complete the expansion of the signal source; when testing the reception index, the software can also switch to 24 ports alternately to complete the expansion of the spectrum analyser. The matrix switch can greatly reduce the number of signal sources and spectrum analysers, save costs and improve test efficiency.
