Streamline System Design & Device Integration!

Weinschel's new SmartStep technology streamlines system designs and device integration by providing a flexible bus interface as well as components that are simple to configure and control. Creating Subsystems using Weinschel’s Smartstep approach streamlines the design and layout of application specific subsystems that include a wide range of microwave and RF components such as programmable/fixed attenuators, power combiners/dividers/splitters, directional couplers, amplifiers, filters, noise sources and switches which can be controlled using various standard communications interfaces including IEEE-488, RS232, RS422, Ethernet (SNMP option) and RS485. Subsystem design options can also include:

• Turnkey subsystems built to customer specified design & layout.
• Wide dynamic and frequency ranges.
• Front panel and menu controls.
• 50 or 75 ohm configurations.
• Attenuation/switching schemes.
• Customer specified Input/Output parameters.
• Individual to complex matrix/channel configurations.
• Specialized testing and calibration

• Cable Modem Testing.
• Cellular PCS Fading Simulation.
• Cellular & PCS Subsystems with Low IM Components.
• Switch Matrcies.
• Complex RF Matrices.
• Programmable/Switch Controllers
• SmartStep Programmable Attenuators.
• Plug & Go Switch/Relay Drivers.
• Attenuation Modules & Multi-Channel Subsystems.
• SmartStep High Power Programmable Switches.
• SmartStep High Power (100 W)
  Hot-Switchable Attenuator Units.

One of the strengths of Weinschel's Subsystem group is the ability to use our other standard catalog as well as in-house developed production products such as:

• Fixed Coaxial Attenuators & Terminations
  (dc-40 GHz, 2-1,000 Watts)
• Variable Attenuators & Phase Shifters
• Programmable Attenuators (Relay)
• Solid-State Attenuators (GaAs & FET)
• Power Splitters & Dividers
• Coaxial Adapters, Planar Blind-Mate &
  Planar Crown® Connector Systems
• SmartStep™ Components
• Custom & Other Components
