Features
The Agilent 87104A multiport switch improves insertion loss repeatability and isolation, which is necessary for higher performance test systems. The repeatability and reliability of this switch is vital to ATS measurement accuracy and can cut the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and increasing test system up time. The Agilent 87104A terminated multiport switch provides the long life and reliability required for automated test and measurement, signal monitoring, and routing applications. Highly repeatable switching capability is made possible through Agilent's rigorous design and tight manufacturing specifications. Low insertion loss repeatability reduces sources of random errors in the measurement path, which improves measurement accuracy.

Modern automated test systems demand higher accuracy and performance than ever before. The Agilent Technologies 87104A/B/C and 87106A/B/C multiport switches offer improvements in insertion loss repeatability and isolation necessary to achieve higher test system performance.
Long life, repeatability, and reliability lowers the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and increasing test system uptime and are vital to ATS measurement system integrity over time.
Description
The 87104A/B/C SP4T and 87106A/B/C SP6T terminated multiport switches provide the life and reliability required for automated test and measurement, signal monitoring, and routing applications.
Innovative design and careful process control creates switches that meet the requirements for highly repeatable switching elements in test instruments and switching interfaces.
The switches are designed to operate for more than 10,000,000 cycles. The exceptional 0.03-dB insertion loss repeatability is warranted for 5 million cycles at 25°C. This reduces sources of random errors in the measurement path and improves measurement uncertainty. Switch life is a critical consideration in production test systems, satellite and antenna monitoring systems, and test instrumentation.
The longevity of these switches increases system uptime, and lowers the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and switch maintenance.
Operating to 4 GHz (A models), 20 GHz (B models), and 26.5 (C models), these switches exhibit exceptional isolation performance required to maintain measurement integrity. Isolation between ports is typically >100 dB to 12 GHz and >90 dB to 26.5 GHz. This reduces the influence of signals from other channels, sustains the integrity of the measured signal, and reduces system measurement uncertainties.
These switches also minimize measurement uncertainty with low insertion loss and reflection, which make them ideal elements in large multitiered switching systems.
Both the 87204A/B/C and 87206A/B/C are designed to fall within most popular industry footprints. The 2 1/4 inch square flange provides mounting holes, while the rest of the 2 1/2 inch long by 2 1/4 inch diameter body will easily fit into most systems. Ribbon cable or optional solder terminal connections accommodate the need for secure and efficient control cable attachment.
Option 100 provides solder terminal connections in place of the 16-pin ribbon drive cable. Option 100 does not incorporate the “open all paths” feature.
Opto-electronic interrupts and indicators improve reliability and extend the life of the switch by eliminating DC circuit contact failures characteristic of conventional electromechanical switches. These switches have an interrupt circuit that provides logic to open all but the selected ports, and then closes the selected paths. All other paths are terminated with 50 ohm loads, and the current to all the solenoids is then cut off. These versions also offer independent indicators that are controlled by optical interrupts in the switch. The indicators provide a closed path between the indicator common pin and the corresponding sense pin of the selected path.
