Pickering shows switching and simulation systems at Space-Comm Expo
Summary
Pickering Interfaces will showcase its range of industry-standard modular signal switching and simulation products for electronic test and verification – including fault insertion and sensor simulation modules for Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation, as well as RF and microwave switching up to 110GHz – on stand D32 at Space-Comm Expo 2024, taking place from 6–7 March 2024, at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre in Farnborough, UK. “At Pickering, we know that space industry electronics engineers have unique testing needs driven by requirements around long operating life, high reliability and hostile environmental conditions,” said Steve Edwards, Product Manager at Pickering. “Our modular products are based on familiar open industry standards that ensure long-term availability, shorten development time, and ultimately speed time-to-market. With expert-level knowledge in architecting switching and simulation systems, we help our customers achieve their test objectives efficiently and deliver products with intuitive tools to enhance development teams’ design efforts and productivity. The result is scalable COTS test systems that can be optimised to meet their needs today and in the future.” Pickering will showcase the following switching and simulation products, solutions, and demos: • Fault insertion modules that can be used to switch signals between simulations and real-life devices • The first modules in a new MEMS-based RF PXI and PXIe multiplexer family • A configurable PXI microwave switch platform that allows RF test engineers to combine a wide range of high-performance relay types, while minimising chassis slot usage Pickering Interfaces manufactured products come with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support.
