TECHNICAL INFORMATION V RAMSES CONCEPT An innovative new system has been designed for constructing electromechanical coaxial RF switches with increased long---term reliability. The RAdiall Modular System for Electromechanical Switches (RAMSES) is a patented concept that enables microwave coaxial switches to be produced with a typical operating life of million cycles while suffering no decrease in contact resistance reliability over time. In addition, the unique internal construction makes the switches cost ---competitive with traditional switches. FRICTION EFFECTS The unique design of RAMSES is based on the reduction of friction, which minimizes particle deposits that can interfere with the transmission of lower frequency signals (up to 3 GHz). This particle elimination effect is particularly important for telecommunications applications that are currently in the 9 MHz and 2 GHz regions. In addition, the design involves fewer components than other microwave switches, making it easier and quicker to assemble. These savings directly relate to lower cost for improved performance. Many of the existing coaxial electromechanical switches also are able to function mechanically for million operations. But the reliability and quality of the electrical contact can seriously degrade during that lifetime. In general, these traditional switches operate by moving a rectangular switching blades section inside a rectangular cavity. The blades are linked with pushers constructed of dielectric material that travel inside an access hole between the RF cavity and switch actuator. The pushers are directed by dielectric material guides. These dielectric parts rub on the blades and inside the access hole and generate isolating particles in the RF cavity that pollute the electrical contacts and ultimately cause running defects. Figure shows the build---up of minute dielectric particles on a set of conventional switch contacts after one million cycles. These defects are not particularly noticeable at very high frequencies since the contact is established by a capacitive effect. However, the insertion loss of the contacts increases considerably at lower frequencies (3GHz and below). (a) RF line open (a) RF line closed Fig Conventional switch contacts after one million cycles A NEW ACTUATOR CONFIGURATION To eliminate this problem of increased insertion loss in the contacts, RAMSES devices incorporate a patented system compressing two parallel blades suspended from a bearer, which enables the guiding and positioning of the commutation blades to be accomplished entirely outside the RF cavity. These blades impose a rectilinear motion on the switching pusher, suppressing both friction and the production of particles inside the RF cavity. The unique system is extremely small and can be used in all of the RAMSES series switches. Figure 2 shows a cutaway view of a RAMSES coaxial switch displaying the actuator mechanism.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION (a) RF line open Fig 2 A cutaway view of a RAMSES coaxial switch A second improvement involves a new rectilinear actuator design using high energy magnets and a patented magnetic circuit that significantly improves switching performance in relation to its size. The system is used in the production of both failsafe and latching actuators, depending on how it is applied in the switch. The actuator system also produces sticking forces that far exceed those of traditional actuators; that is, either 5g locking forces or 3 to 8g current forces for a power consumption of ma at 28V. The new actuator has the added advantage of very low magnetic leakage, allowing actuators to be used in close proximity to one another without performance degradation. Finally, the use of a dry, solid lubricant and the control of friction areas produce an actuator life expectancy of over 5 million operations without defect over a ---55û to +85ûC temperature range SWITCH PERFORMANCE RAMSES series switches have successfully survived tests of million toggles under temperature cycles from ---55û to + 85ûC while demonstrating good contact resistance stability. Visual inspection of these switches after testing has indicated that the RF lines were free of much of the contamination found during similar tests on traditional switches.a comparison of the actual measured contact resistance obtained from monitoring both conventional and RAMSES switches during several hundred toggles on parts that have already been actuated one million cycles is shown in Figure 4. (b) RF line closed Fig 3 A RAMSES set of contacts Figure 3 shows a set of RAMSES contacts. Although the conventional switch may not be considered a failure, its contact resistance has become unstable, thus degrading its reliability.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VI RF ARRANGEMENT SPDT SWITCH (Single Pole Double Throw) Single pole Double Throw Switch A switch with one input port and two selectable output ports DP3T SWITCH (Double Pole Three Throw) SPDT TERMINATED SWITCH (Single Pole Double Throw Terminated) Single Pole Double Throw, Terminated switch Same as SPDT, but the unused output port is automatically terminated by a 5 Ohm resistive load TRANSFER / DPDT SWITCH (Double Pole Double Throw) POS I POS II Double Pole Three Throw switch A switch with two input ports and three output ports. Each input (J2 --- J4) can be switched between two adjacent outputs with one output being common to both inputs MULTIPOSITION SWITCH (Single Pole n Throw) Single Pole n Throw Switch ( n < 3 ) A switch with one input port and more than two output ports. The multiposition switch allows direct access to any individual output port by energizing the respective actuator. RADIALL SPnT switches provide up to 2 Output ports Double Pole Double Throw Switch A four port switch with two independent paths that operate simultaneously in one of two selected positions. In a DPDT / Transfer switch, the two transmission paths are provided as shown above MULTIPOSITION TERMINATED SWITCH (Single Pole n Throw Terminated) Single Pole n Throw Terminated Switch ( n<3 ) Same as SPnT, but each unused output port is automatically terminated in a internal 5 Ohm resistive load 2

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VI DEFINITION OF PARAMETERS ACTUATOR VOLTAGE All RAMSES relays range are 2 and 28 Vdc nominal voltage. Over the whole temperature range, the switches can be operated with a voltage between ---5% and +% of the nominal value. Other voltages can be supplied as non---standard options. AUTOMATIC RESET Latching version multiposition switches (or SPnT) cause the following problem When a RF way is closed, it remains in position after the driver cut ---off (latching function). To switch to an other way, the first way must be opened at first time thanks to a driver called RESET then control the closing of the second RF way. In the opposite case, both ways will remain in ON position in the same time. To simplify the using of such a product, an automatic RESET is proposed. Such an option is realised by an electronic circuit which brings about the automatic opening of a way previously closed during changes of position of the switches. NOTA This option brings about a higher current consumption during few milliseconds (See values of voltage current according to product on individual Technical Data Sheet). BCD DRIVER INTERFACE This interface realised thanks to an electronic circuit recalls the TTL interface characteristics adding a binary coding which enables to reduce TTL pins number used to drive the product. Such an option has an advantage and does exist only for switches equiped with a number of ways superior or equal to 3 (SP3T to SP2T). The used coding is the following E4 BCD logic coding E3 E2 RF & Microwave ways position E Latching models all ways in OFF position Normally Open models memory of last position Way IN --- in ON position Way IN --- 2 in ON position Way IN --- 3 in ON position Way IN --- 4 in ON position Way IN --- 5 in ON position Way IN --- 6 in ON position Way IN --- 7 in ON position Way IN --- 8 in ON position Way IN --- 9 in ON position Way IN --- in ON position Way IN --- in ON position Way IN --- 2 in ON position Latching models memory of last position Normally Open models all ways are in OFF position NOTA E, E2, E3 and E4 are BCD driver pins of the product. E4 does exist only for a products equiped with 8 positions or more. E3 does exist only for products equiped with 4 positions or more. 3

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VII DEFINITION OF PARAMETERS BREAK BEFORE MAKE RADIALL coaxial relays are built break before make type, that is to say, contact of first way leaves its state, though the final contact way, has not been established yet. D -- SUB CONNECTOR Type of switch SPDT DPDT SPnT 3 to positions SPnT and 2 positions D ---sub connector 9 pins 9 pins 25 pins 44 pins high density FAILSAFE A switch with an actuator that contains a return mechanism, either mechanical or magnetic, that provides RF connection to one selected position when no voltage is applied to the power terminals. This type of switch requires continuous voltage to maintain RF connection to any other position. FREQUENCY RANGE The frequency range indicated for each device is that over which RADIALL warrants the device performance. HOT SWITCHING Due to break before make actuation, hot switching is not recommended because of high quality gold plated contacts used on these switches for the protection of RF contact areas, but yet can be considered to the detriment of life duration of the product. This power should not exceed 25% of allowable average power, but guaranteed duration of life can be reduced per factor. It depends on the level of the switching power. INDICATOR CONTACTS Electrical contacts of open circuit, short ---circuit type, mechanically linked to the actuator and synchronized with switched RF ways, ensure the recopy of positions of RF transmission ways. When a microwave way is switched, the corresponding indicator contact is closed. It is generally used with pilot lamps to indicate position of RF contacts (characteristics are given for a resistive load). INSERTION LOSS The difference in the power level received at the load before and after the insertion of a device in a transmission line. Insertion loss is measured in decibels below the input power. ISOLATION The RF leakage from a connected path to any connector outside that path. Isolation is measured in decibels below the input power. 4

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VII DEFINITION OF PARAMETERS LATCHING A switch with an actuator that contains a mechanism, either mechanical of magnetic, that will maintain a RF contact path whether voltage is maintained or not after switching is accomplished. A pulse length of a duration equal to the maximum switching time is enough to make the relay position change. LIFE Number of toggles a product is able to carry out. Relays and switches of RAMSES range have a life duration from 2 to million of cycles. NORMALLY OPEN Normally open is a mode of operation in which all output ports of the switch are disconnected from the input port until a voltage is applied to a selected position. POLARITY Common minus polarity potential is choosen by RADIALL for its standard products. An inverted polarity (common plus) is available as option on RAMSES range. PEAK POWER HANDLING It is the maximum peak power which, when applied at maximum room temperature under a pulse of one microsecond every millisecond, will not permanently change the specifications of the switch. Any overpowering beyond this limit could alter the RF performances of the switch. RF CONNECTORS RF connectors are 5 or 75 Ohms female, unless otherwise specified. The applicable mating dimensions, materials and finished are in accordance with applicable sections of international standard (MIL C 392, DIN 47295). RF POWER RATING The RF power rating is the capability of handling RF power (CW power) through closed contacts. The RF power should be removed during switching. Power ratings assume unity V.S.W.R. (matched load) at room temperature (25ûC), sea level pressure (4.7 p.s.i.) and cold switching. See the CW power capability Vs. Frequency Chart on page 9. Changes in these specifications require power derating (see derating factor versus V.S.W.R., on page 9). SELF CUT-- OFF This term refers to the ability of a switch to disconnect the actuator voltage as soon as the switching of the position is carried out. The system applies only to latching relays, and is achieved with solid state circuitry. 5

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VII DEFINITION OF PARAMETERS SOLDER PINS RAMSES relays are equiped with tinned solder pins, for the control and indicator contacts. the maximum temperature during soldering should not exceed 25ûC during 3 seconds. SUPPRESSION DIODE Diode connected in parallel with the coil of a switch to suppress transient voltage generated by the self inductance of the coil during the falling edge of driver signal. This option is systematically enclosed in all TTL, SELF CUT---OFF electronic interface. SWITCHING TIME The total amount of time between application of voltage to the actuator terminals and completion of switching including all contact bounce, if any. Total switching time consist of three parts, namely inductive delay in the actuator coil, transfer time of the RF contacts, and bounce time of the RF contact. TTL DRIVER INTERFACE This term points out an interface realised thanks to an electronic circuit which enables to drive either relays or switches by TTL logic signals. Products equiped with such an option have therefore a pin for the voltage of the actuator (2V or 28V) as well as a TTL driver pin shared per position. The logic used is a positive one that is to say +5V of TTL signal means logic enabling to close the corresponding microwave way. V.S.W.R. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio is a measure of the return loss or level of the reflected signal of a device connected on a transmission line. V.S.W.R. is linked to the coefficient of reflection (r) by the equation V.S.W.R with +/r/ = --- --- --- --- -----/r/ Z---Zo r =--- --- --- --- --Z+Zo r is the coefficient of reflection Zo is the characteristic impedance of the line Z is the impedance of the line V.S.W.R varies from to, a value equal to represents a perfect matching. 6

Note about AUTOMATIC RESET This control circuit is used in multithrow latching switches. It s an electronic matrix that interconnects all the reset coils of each position. Used in conjunction with the cut--off circuitry, it allows the switch to reset from the previous closed RF way upon selection of a new RF one. The current with this option is the total current of 2 or 3 reset coils in the same time. Without Automatic Reset circuitry, all reset coils are connected at all times, so the total current can be excessive. --C volt on --C 28 volts on + 56
