The RF switch network can be configured to switch RF signals in a wide range of automatic test systems. Different switch configurations are available that connect one input to two or six outputs. The 3HU main frame consists of a power supply and remote interface and can accept any combination of plug-in modules up to the maximum size of the main frame. In addition, up to 8 power meters can be connected to measure forward power near the antenna, e.g. in a separate room with an amplifier. A control signal port (User port) allows switching of amplifiers and other functions. Each switch and other functions can be individually controlled via the front panel touch screen, e.g. for installation and maintenance purposes. The USB to serial/optical cable converter with 20 m optical cable enables safe and reliable remote control of the device at all times, even in noisy and electromagnetically disturbed environments. All RF switches are high quality with an operating life of at least one million operations. Although they are capable of releasing high levels of power, they are designed to switch only in the absence of RF power.
