Siglent SSM5124A, 9 kHz-9 GHz, 2 Inputs, 24 Output, Switch Matrix

Description

Siglent SSM5124A, 9 kHz-9 GHz, 24 Output, Switch Matrix

The Siglent SSM5124A apart of the SSM5000A series switch matrix is designed to expand the number of test ports for network analysers, signal sources, spectrum analysers, and other RF equipment. Available in multiple configurations, this series is built to accommodate different operating frequencies and port setups. The “X” in the series name indicates the frequency range, with options covering 9 kHz-9 GHz or 100 kHz-26.5 GHz, while “Y” and “Z” represent the number of combiner and division ports, respectively. The switch matrix supports up to 4 input ports and 24 output ports, with communication modes via USB, LAN, or Direct Control.

This system is highly efficient, featuring a simplified multi-port calibration algorithm that significantly improves calibration speed. It’s compatible with SIGLENT and other mainstream instruments and fits into a 19-inch standard chassis, making it ideal for multi-port test environments such as antennas and 5G component modules.

Key Features:

• Characteristic Impedance: 50 Ω
• Frequency Range:  9kHz-9 GHz
• 2 Input Ports and 24 Output Ports
• RF Connector: 3.5 mm female
• Maximum Input Power: 20 dBm
• Interface: LAN, USB, Direct Control
• Compact 2.4-inch screen for easy operation

This versatile switch matrix enhances testing flexibility and efficiency in RF environments.

SSM5000A series switch matrix can expand the number of test ports of network analyzer, signal source, spectrum analyzer and other equipment. And the series are with up to 4 input ports and up to 24 output ports, supporting USB, LAN, Direct Control communication modes. In addition to SIGLENT instruments, it also supports other mainstream instruments. It is suitable for 19-inch standard chassis and can be widely used in multi-port test environments such as antennas and 5G component modules.

The switch matrix is used to expand the test ports of network analyzer and measure S parameters of multiple devices, according to the specific test requirements, the matrix switch can be extended into 24 single ports, 12 full 2 ports, 8 full 3 ports, 6 full 4 ports, 4 full 6 ports, 3 full 8 ports, 2 full 12 ports, 1 full 24 ports, etc. The figure below shows scaling to 4 full 6 ports. DUT1 , DUT2 , DUT3 and DUT4 devices can be tested by software, greatly improving the test efficiency.

Using a switch matrix with a signal source and spectrum analyzer, the signal source and spectrum analyzer are extended to 24 ports, which can be used to test the transmission and reception of multiple DUTs. When testing the emission index, the software switches to 24 ports in turn, then the expansion of the signal source is completed; when testing the receiving index, the software can also switch to 24 ports in turn to complete the expansion of the spectrum analyzer. The matrix switch can greatly reduce the number of signal source and spectrum analyzer, save cost and improve test efficiency.
