Product Overview

Mesh networks allow simultaneous interconnection of 3 to n devices or test systems. Common applications include
testing of Bluetooth and Zigbee devices, wireless handsets and Wi-Fi systems. Mini-Circuits’ ZTMN series of multi-portmesh networks covers all the key telecoms bands from 350 to 6000 MHz with independently variable attenuation on
every path. This concept allows simulation of a “real-world” mesh communication network in the confined space of a
production environment. Path loss can be varied independently between any pair of devices on the network without
affecting any other combination of devices, allowing simulation of a complex range of test cases. Number of paths,
operating frequency and path attenuation range (up to 120 dB) can be tailored to your specific test requirements.
ZTMN-series units come housed in a rugged,19" rack mount chassis and can be controlled via USB or Ethernet.
Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI for Windows® and a full API with programming
instructions for Windows and Linux® environments (both 32- and 64-bit systems).

Mini-Circuits’ ZTVX-Series 2 x N port switch matrices are capable of routing signal from two input ports
to any of up to 16 output channels through a network of low-loss, high-isolation electromechanicalswitches. Models are available with various output port counts and frequency ranges of DC to either
12 GHz or 18 GHz to meet your needs. The switches in the system are bidirectional, and all ports may
be used as inputs or outputs as needed. This capability allows easy management of complex signal
traffic in test environments. ZTVX systems have proved particularly useful for testing of multiple DUTs
in parallel as well is testing of DUTs with higher port counts without repeatedly disconnecting andreconnecting test cables, significantly reducing test time and increasing throughput.

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits’ ZTDAT series of multi-channel programmable attenuator systems are suitable for a wide range of signal
level control applications from 1 to 6000 MHz. Each independently controlled channel provides 0 to 95 dB attenuation
in 0.25 dB steps with more than 100 dB isolation between channels. The programmable attenuators in the system
maintain linear attenuation change per dB, even at the highest attenuation settings. Each model is housed in a compact
19-inch rack chassis with SMA or N-type RF connectors on the front and rear panels. A series of standard model options
are provided, from 8 to 24 attenuator channels, with custom configurations available on request. The series also includes
Mini-Circuits’ novel SPI interface which allows multiple ZTDAT attenuator systems to be cascaded together into amaster /slave chain. The full chain effectively becomes one system with every attenuator channel (from 8 to several
hundred) controlled through the single USB or Ethernet connection and software interface of the master unit.

Product Overview

Product Overview

Mini-Circuits’ JSW2-63VHDRG+ and JSW2-63VHDRP+ are reflective, symmetric MMIC SPDT switches with internal
CMOS drivers designed for wideband operation from 5 to 6000 MHz. These switches provide power handling up
to 2.5W with low insertion loss, high dynamic range, and fast switching in tiny 2x2mm 12-pad MCLP packages.
They operate on a single positive supply voltage with low current consumption of just 120µA. Produced using asilicon-on-insulator process, they provide a high level of ESD protection and excellent repeatability.
The switches are available in two variants to accommodate your PCB layout. The switching logic for
JSW2-63VHDRG+ sets the switch from COM to RF2 with control voltage in the low state and COM to RF1 in thehigh state. Alternative model JSW2-63VHDRP+ has the opposite switching logic to minimize power consumption
in designs where the primary signal path is routed via the RF1 port.

To respond to the growing demand for extremely fast switching capability in test systems for next generation
applications like 5G and Massive MIMO, Mini-Circuits has developed a new family of high-speed, solid-stateswitch modules with control via USB or SPI interfaces. With frequency ranges spanning DC to 8000 MHz, theseswitches cover all the key telecom application bands and provide very high isolation and fast switching speed.
USB control allows easy connection from almost any PC and automation from most common programming
environments. Alternatively, SPI-SP10T-63 supports a simple 3-wire SPI interface that allows connection of many
switches along the same control line, cascaded in a “daisy-chain” configuration.
These solid-state switches can be readily integrated into a self-contained switching system with Mini-Circuits proprietary
firmware and user-friendly control software, allowing many possible configurations for your signal routing needs.
