4 GHz Bi-Directional RF Attenuator Matrix Switch
General Description:
The NEXUS-4 is a bi-directional fully non-blocking 32x32 RF matrix switching system that can route any input ports to any output ports in a 6 RU chassis. With the frequency range of 700 MHz to 4 GHz and the capability of expanding to 256x256, it enables large scale wireless testing that involves many MIMO base stations and devices. The built- in programmable attenuators and efficient automation interface provide ease-of-use testing of signal fade and emulation of mobility scenarios. It can dramatically increase lab efficiency by eliminating manual patch panel and cabling as it can be remotely reconfigured for different test setups consistently in seconds. The utilization of NEXUS-4 RF matrices will expand your testing capabilities, improve ROI of lab instruments, and reduce time to market.
Features & Benefits:
- 700 to 4000 MHz frequency range covering all major wireless technologies
- Support 32x32 RF ports in 6 RU with modular design expandable to 256x256
