11General Description

SSM5000A series switch matrix, can expand the number of test ports of network analyzer, signal
source, spectrum analyzer and other equipment. The series names are like SSM5XYZA, The X
represents different operating frequency, Y represents the number of combiner ports, Z represents
the number (divided by 6) of division ports. When X is 1, the operating frequency range covers 9kHz-9 GHz, when it is 3, covers 100 kHz-26.5 GHz. And the series are with up to 4 input ports and up
to 24 output ports, supporting USB, LAN, Direct Control communication modes. The Direct Control
interface on the switch matrix can further expand the number of test ports and support a simplified
multi-port calibration algorithm, which can greatly improve the efficiency of calibration. In addition toSIGLENT instruments, it also supports other brand 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.

Application Scenarios

Application scenario 1:
The switch matrix is used to expand the test ports of network analyzer and measure S parameters ofmultiple 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. In this case, you only need toperform full 6-Port calibration on four group of ports 1-6, 7-12, 13-18 and 19-24. DUT1, DUT2, DUT3
and DUT4 devices can be tested by software, greatly improving the test efficiency.

Application scenario 2:
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 receiving
parameters of multiple DUTs. In this case, S parameter calibration is not required, only the line loss ofeach channel needs to be calibrated. When testing the transmission performance, the software
switches to 24 ports in turn, then the expansion of the signal source is completed; when testing thereceiving performance, 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 andspectrum analyzer, therefore save cost and improve test efficiency.
