Abstract

Miniature coaxial transfer switches from various manufacturers were tested for the purpose of finding an acceptable replacement for the larger switch now used in the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility (DSIF). The switches, which are planned for use in the S- through X-bands, were tested to determine both their mechanical and electrical properties. Two units were considered acceptable. These switches will reduce the size and cost of future microwave equipment and will also provide the requirements for meeting increasing performance demands.
