RF Switch 17GHz

[herrlin]

Anyone have any recommendation for RF Switch’s that are rated to at least 17 GHz and have a nice driver interface in LabVIEW?

Apart from NI, Agilent is my defacto choice- including for RF.

Works with LabVIEW like a perfect match. All the best 

Note: I have no affiliation with Agilent, just a happy developer.

Hello Herlin,

Below is a link pointing to our RF Switches rated at 26.5GHz; the required drivers include NI-SWITCH/NI DAQmx (DAQmx Switches palette). To further assist you in selecting a switch that would meet your requirements, I have included links addressing Key RF switch specifications e.g. Insertion loss, VSWR, isolation, crosstalk and rise time which are all crucial specifications that must be considered to  understand a switch’s overall performance.

Thanks.  For some reason I thought that NI only had switches that were rated up to 6.6GHz.
