National Instruments PXIe-2542 PXI RF Relay Module

The PXIe-2542 (Part Number: 780587-42) is an efficient RF Relay Module from National Instruments. The instrument comes with the capability to offer 10 Megahertz input frequency. The NI PXIe-2542 incorporates a quad 2x1 terminator multiplexer capability. The characteristic impedance of the device is 50 ohms with AC coupling. The value for maximum safe DC voltage input is ±8 volts. The device can also offer continuous RF power in both the chassis power on or off states. The maximum RF power for the PXIe-2542 in these states is +30 dBm and +20 dBm respectively.

The PXIe-2542 RF Relay Module offers a typical channel to channel skew of less than three picoseconds. The value propagation delay of the device has a value of 680 picoseconds. The instrument can carry the RF signal up to 6.6 GHz, which enables the implementation for test applications in production environments and allows the user to carry out testing by means of routing RF signals. The NI PXIe-2542 RF Relay Module offers an unlimited mechanical lifetime for the relays.

The PXIe 2542 comes with a built-in FET switch. The instrument’s dimensions are 21.6 L x 2.0 W x 13.0 H in centimeters and the weight is around 553 grams. The NI PXIe 2542 RF Relay Module has multiple accessories available, such as an SMA male to male flexible cable of different lengths. These lengths are 0.15 and 0.45 meters. It also includes an SMA 50 ohm terminating plug.
