Built to Southwest Microwave’s rigorous performance and quality standards, the 1.0 mm connectors are rugged and durable, feature a 360° raised grounding ring and operational temperature rating of -55°C to +165°C.

1.0 mm connectors provide mode-free operation through 125 GHz, offering well-matched impedance, excellent repeatability and the industry’s lowest VSWR (1.2:1), insertion loss (0.6 dB) and RF leakage (≤ -100 dB).

See "Specifications & Details" tab for more information. 

Southwest Microwave connectors and accessories are designed to be compatible with each other to assure electrical performance. Southwest Microwave cannot assure electrical performance when the accessories are used with a non-Southwest Microwave connector.

The VTI Instruments SMX-7xxx product family is made up of a series of microwave switch cards.

The SM7000 Series microwave switching modules are members of the VXI Technology SMIPII™ family. They offer a modular design allowing custom switching configurations to be easily assembled and modified in the field.

The SM7000 is a single-wide, C-size VXI module, which can support up to six different microwave switches including: a dual SPDT; SP3T through SP6T; transfer switches and passthrough adapters that allow the module to control up to eight externally mounted relays each.

Noise diodes are the fundamental building blocks for analog noise systems. They are categorized for performance characteristics that enhance their broadband noise output and flat spectral response. All Maury noise diodes can deliver symmetrical white Gaussian noise and flat output power versus frequency*.

* Flatness and output power are dependent upon peripheral circuit characteristics

• Combine up to 6 SPDT and 6 multiport high-performance building blocks in a 2U footprint
• Extended life and self-terminating options provide maximum design flexibility
• Embedded web interface provides interactive utility to monitor and control relays from anywhere in the world
• Flexible API supports IVI and Linux development environments minimizing software investment
• LXI Trigger Event implementation provides seamless test synchronization with external devices
