3060 RF Combiner

3060/65 RF Combiner

The 3060/65 RF combiner is the first PXI module of its type designed specifically for RF component and radio terminal system test. It is a high-performance 3 input RF combiner and integral RF switch with a frequency range of 300 MHz to 2.5 GHz in a compact single-slot 3U PXI package.

  • Frequency range 250 MHz to 2.7 GHz or 6 GHz 
  • 3 input RF combiner
  • Switched paths for system calibration
  • Combiner calibration data stored in the module
  • > 35 dB port to port isolation
  • > 20 dB return loss
  • < 15 dB through loss
  • Single slot 3U high

The module is designed for use in RF test systems in conjunction with Aeroflex’s 3020 series RF signal generators and 3030 series RF digitizer modules. Together these modules enable the development of compact, high-performance, low-cost, modular RF test systems. The 3060 RF combiner avoids the need for extraneous RF signal conditioning development in the test fixture, thereby simplifying test system design.

The 3060/65 provides a single combined port  from any combination of 3020 series RF signal generator modules and 3030 series RF digitizer modules connected to ports A, B and C. To maximize flexibility, each port is bi-directional—allowing a wide variety of system configurations to be supported.

The 3065 additionally includes a 5th port providing even greater flexibility in RF switching applications

The 3060/65 combiner module is supplied fully calibrated with frequency response data stored internally. This data can be read by the test system and used to offset stimulus input level in the signal generator and correct measurement results from the digitizer. In this way, calibration to the plane of the DUT connection point is maintained. The module also provides direct switch connection between input ports to enable test system end-to-end calibration.
