The Agilent 8764B is a five-port switch providing low SWR, low insertion loss and excellent isolation. It uses latching solenoids and break-before-make switching circuits. The Agilent 8764B has a dc circuit interrupt to cut off solenoid current when switching is complete. The extra ports can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adding external high power loads to extend power handling capability or reversing signal path. Standard control voltage is 24 Vdc, and options are available for other solenoid voltages.
