Patent attributes
A switch matrix assembly provides for excellent frequency performance while maintaining good isolation, insertion loss, and crosstalk performance. The switch matrix assembly can include an internal bus connector card that helps eliminate or reduce stubs on a matrix star card that is part of the switch matrix. A stack bus connector card can be added in order to allow for identical busbars on other matrix star cards to be connected “stubless.” The switch matrix can also include bus stub isolator card(s) in order for busbar stubs to be broken-off reasonably close to final termination points. The stackable design of the switch matrix assembly allows for a fairly dense design which helps save space, improves serviceability, and improves overall switching performance.
