50PMA-151

The 50PMA-151 from JFW Industries is an 8-port transceiver test system that operates from 2 to 8 GHz. It is designed to simulate static and dynamic environments for testing radio-to-radio communication links. This test system incorporates a mesh configuration with 28 paths, ensuring a path between every pair of ports. Every path includes an individually controlled programmable attenuator that allows signal levels to be adjusted across the full attenuation range. Each attenuator has an attenuation range of 0 to 63 dB in 1 dB steps and an attenuation accuracy of ±1.25 dB. This transceiver test system has an insertion loss of 39 dB and a switching speed of 4 µs. It can handle an average input power of 1 W and has a VSWR of less than 1.80:1.

The 50PMA-151 transceiver test system can be either manually controlled via a 20-button keypad and LCD or remotely via Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces. It uses the real all paths (RAP) command to check the attenuation settings of all the attenuators. This system requires an AC supply of 100 to 240 V and consumes 4 A of current. It is available in a 19-inch rack-mount enclosure that measures 19.00 x 6.97 x 21.47 inches and has SMA or N-type (female) connectors.
