The Keysight U3020AS26 is a two-channel SP6T switch matrix that routes RF and microwave signals across six input ports to two output paths without physical reconnection. Operating from DC to 26.5 GHz, it delivers insertion loss below 0.5 dB at baseband and controlled amplitude tracking of ±0.05 dB DC to 1 GHz, making it suitable for high-frequency signal selection in automated test systems. Phase skew remains tight across the band, ranging from ±5 pS at 1–6 GHz to ±40 pS at the frequency extremes. The matrix integrates with Keysight Infiniium Series compliance frameworks to accelerate R&D validation, design verification, and production test. Rated for 5 million switch cycles guaranteed and 10 million cycles typical, the device reduces cost of test through extended operating life and eliminates manual cabling changes during multi-signal test sequences.
