L-band Matrix - 32x32 NGMC-30

32 Inputs x 32 Outputs Combining Hot-swap NiGMa L-band Matrix with HIGH LINEARITY and VARIABLE GAIN.

ETL has a broad L-band Switch Matrix and L-band Router range for Satellite communications, including the hot-swap NiGMa L-band Matrix which is used for many high resilience high performance applications.

The NiGMa L-band Matrix is housed in a 6U 19" rack enclosure. It has a module capacity of 32 inputs x 32 outputs, but can be part populated to any size, such as those shown below. It can then be hot expanded up to 32 x 32. The NiGMa L-band Router can easily be formed into larger Matrix Systems up to 512x512 by adding additional modules.
A variety of impedances and connector types are available, as shown below.

Now in its 3rd generation, the NiGMa L-band Matrix has proved to be genuinely high performance with excellent flatness or frequency response, excellent isolation, and linearity - a truly leading edge L-band Router.

The NiGMa L-band matrix has hot swap of all active components - RF cards, CPU's and PSU's. In addition the NiGMa L-band Matrix has the designed-in resilience provided by one RF card for each RF input and output, dual redundant CPU's, and dual redundant PSU's.

The NiGMa L-band Matrix also has extensive on-board monitoring - and reporting - of RF card amplifier status, CPU and PSU status and HMI communications.

Non-blocking: this means any input can be routed to any output.

In general our solid state (L-band) matrices are non-blocking.

Full Fan-in Matrix (or fully combining matrix): any input can be routed to any output. Many inputs can be routed to each output. Each input can only be routed to one output. Tends to be more TX.
