OA132 Omni-Panel
The OA132 modular Omni-Panel is a larger version of the OA108 Omni-panel with 4x the connectivity. This unit would be used in extreme cases where a very high number of RF and or pogo-pin connections are required, for example doing multi-site testing in a manufacturing environment. Like the OA108, the OA132 comprises a base unit with up to 5,280 pogo pin contacts*, and up to 64 x 40GHz blind-mate coaxial RF connections. Like the OA108 the OA132 base unit is connected to the PXI or rack and stack test equipment. A prototype docking head which can then be re-configured when the prototype under test changes is also available however with a unit of this size most clients would usually opt to use the Omni-Panel loadboard with custom device test sockets fitted to meet their needs. As in the OA108 any number of combination of these units can in turn be connected to to the test instrumentation via the base unit. Top right shows an optional EMI shield which can be added to the prototype unit or loadboard thus providing EMI shielding to keep RF susceptibility to a minimum and avoiding the cost of a shielded room!
As in the OA108 these units are modular and highly flexible, and can be ordered with any number within range of pogo pins and RF connectors, the base unit connectivity to the test equipment is also user-defined, so for example D-connectors could be used for power supplies, coaxial ribbon cable for data, and SMA connectors for any RF connection to the test equipment. Additionally if you decide to order load-boards we will even assist you with the design and configuring the base unit so you get the optimum coverage.
Finally because these units are so highly flexible, the prototype, or base units can be reconfigured or upgraded as the needs change.
* Less pogo pins are available if higher current, or low-cost pogo pin modules are selected.
