This video demonstrates how a microwave switch and signal routing system (RF Interface Unit or RFIU) can be designed, simulated, and modeled using our free online Microwave Switch Design Tool. The video provides a detailed walk-through of the process, demonstrating the creation of a 26.5 GHz SP36T RFIU built with seven SP6T relays in a compact LXI Ethernet-controlled switch subsystem, which illustrates the tool's ability to create complex systems. 

  • Create a detailed switching system schematic using the MSDT Schema Tool and its integral component library.
  • Select, position, and connect components, including relays and cabling.
  • Allows flexible integration into existing test systems, saving space and cost.
  • Utilize the Power Loss Simulator to analyze signal path performance, including Insertion Loss, VSWR, and S-parameters.
  • Design and configure the physical layout using the Front Panel Tool, including connector positioning, vents, and LED indicators.
