Overview

P9164C 2X16 USB solid state switch matrix, 300 KHz to18 GHz is a full cross-bar switch matrix that provides a switch based multiport VNA solution in the form of compact USB controlled involving a larger scale of multi-DUT or multiport measurements such as 5G massive MIMO antenna measurement and others.

Block Diagram

Keysight P9164x are 2 slot USB 2x16 solid state switch modules. It is designed to provide switch based multiport VNA solution and can also be used as a generic standalone switching solution. The switch is configured as 2x16 (2 in, 16 out) full-crossbar switch and consists of multiple SPDT and SP4T CMOS switches for fast switching. Switching can be done via the Soft Front Panel (provided) or IVI commands, executed from the host computer.
