DS Instrument’s new SW264K 4-Way solid-state RF switch is powered via USB and controlled using a rear pushbutton switch, or via SCPI commands over the virtual COM port. Status LEDs and audible feedback make this device extremely user friendly for stand-alone usage and remote scripted operation. This non-reflective ultra-wideband SP4T switch is perfect for X and Ku-band automated test setups. Fast switching time and an affordable price point make this the best low-power switch on the market today. No special drivers are needed to send serial commands from any operating system or host device.
