The PE0312-75 is a 2×12 solid-state switch for 75 Ohm VNA systems, enabling multiport measurements. It has two Type N (75 Ohm) female input ports and twelve Type N test ports, operating from 3 MHz to 3 GHz. Insertion loss is 4.0 dB up to 1300 MHz, 4.5 dB to 2150 MHz, and 5.0 dB to 3 GHz. Isolation between input ports is 85 dB (95 dB typ.). Switching time is 5 μs. Control is via USB 2.0 with a Type C connector. Power is drawn from 110-240 V, 50/60 Hz at 3 W typical. Dimensions are 422 mm × 414 mm × 99 mm, weighing 6.5 kg. Operating temperature ranges from +5 °C to +40 °C. Maximum input power is +26 dBm, with 35 V DC tolerance. Compatible with VNAs using 50 to 75 Ohm adapters; recommended pairing is SC7540.
The PE0312-75 Port Extender (or 12-Port 75 Ohm switch) is able to connect to CMT’s SC7540 75 Ohm VNA to make multiport measurements in 75 Ohm systems. For users needing to measure 75 Ohm splitters with or without gain, insertion loss and isolation of a coaxial switch, or six simultaneous 2-port measurements in a production environment, a PE0312-75 is the perfect solution.
The 12-Port PE0312-75 Port Extender has frequency range from 3 MHz to 3 GHz and has switching time of 1 ms typ. Each PE0312-75 purchase will include the VNA mounting frame suitable for SC7540 VNA and two 1-foot N-type Male interconnect cables.
The VNA is sold separately from the PE0312-75. The ideal VNA pairing for this solution is CMT’s SC7540 but it is compatible with other CMT VNAs —with the use of 50 to 75 Ohm adapters or matching pads.
