The absorptive design architecture minimizes impedance discontinuities and reflections during port switching transitions, critical when measuring low-level signals or validating components with stringent VSWR specifications. Phase-matched configuration ensures consistent signal path characteristics across all eight ports, eliminating systematic measurement errors introduced by switching operations.
The LSW-802P8T is available as standalone module or integrated into rack-mount systems—1RU configurations accommodate up to four units, while 2RU systems support up to eight units. This flexibility enables scalable solutions for complex multi-channel RF testing scenarios.
