Design and Simulation of 32 X 64 RF Switch Matrix up to 40 GHz

This paper proposed a novel architecture for design and simulation of wideband RF Switch Matrix(RFSM). The simulation for RFSM is carried in Visual System Simulator (VSS) software. The input parameter for the simulation is derived from the COTS SPDT, SP4T and SP6T electro-mechanical RF switches. The component & the configurations are finalized based on the simulation carried out. The aim of the proposed RFSM is to carry out performance evaluation of airborne system, subsystem of Project ISR. This will facilitate the automation through reduced time, cost & complexity of the functional and performance evaluation process in the Test Rig.
