T3SP-D4MX Operator’s Manual
1. General Information about the T3SP-D4MX
Please read this operation manual carefully before commissioning the T3SP-
D4MX , to avoid incorrect operation of the instrument.
The T3SP-D4MX multiplexer unit can be used in applications requiring a high
frequency (RF) bandwidth in combination with pair-wise phase-matched sig-
nal paths. The multiplexer was developed for test & measurement envi-
ronments as well as for industrial applications, by using RF micro-electro-
mechanical-systems switches (MEMS).
A high level of protection against electromagnetic discharge (ESD) is given
by internal protection diodes.
A main advantage of using MEMS technology is a very long lifetime, which
goes hand in hand with a high number of cycle times (up to 1 billion). The
device typically is used in multi signal path testing applications (e.g. cable
testing). It can be programmed either by a stand-alone applications or inte-
grated into automated test environments.
Teledyne Test Tools offers TDR systems for measuring impedance profiles
and S-parameters. The
is operated by us-
ing the universal instrumentation software
Seunis
that provides control of
the T3SP-D4MX as well as calibration (open, short, load, thru) and/or de-
embedding of the multiplexer unit.
