Introduction
The Model 7116-MWS 16-Channel Microwave Switch System provides an integrated solution for multiplexed signal routing
of microwave signals at frequencies up to 18GH.z. The Model 71 I6-MWS switch system can be used to test wireless telecom-
munication devices and systems such as cellular phones, cordless phones, pagers, antenna systems, base stations, and other
wireless transmission productions.
It consists of:
- Five 1x4 microwave RF multiplexer switch modules
* A Model 7020.MWS switching card
* A Model 7001 switching mainframe
* An off-line power supply
. Semi-rigid cables
7116-MWS installation instructions
WARNING
The information on the following pages is intended for qualified service personnel only. Do not attempt
these procedures unless you are qualified to do so.
CAUTION
To prevent flexing of the connections and possible damage, ensure that the Model 7020~MWS card is
secured with its thumbscrew to the Model 7001 rear panel, and that the cable assembly is secured with
its two screws to the 7020-MWS card.

Rack preparation
I. Select a location in the rack. The assembly will take up to 5% inches of vertical space
2. Hold up the system at the selected location in the rack. The four slotted mounting holes in the front panel dictate the location
of the captive ""t fasteners on the front rack rails. Mark where the fasteners are to be installed.
3. Referring to Figure I- I, install four fasteners so the captive nuts are located behind the appropriate holes on the front rack rails.

5. Tighten all screws.
WARNING
The Model 7116~MWS must be separately connected to a safety earth ground to maintain protection
against possible shock hazard. Failure to connect the unit to a safety earth ground may result in per-
sonal injury or death due to an electric shock.

Operation
Introduction
The Model 7116-MWS system is a 16.input microwave mulliplexer. Sixteen inputs are achieved by connecting five single-pole,
four-throw switches together forming a tree switching network as shown in Figure 2-l.

Operation
Operating instructions
To selecl an input channel, the Model 7001 must close tw" switches at the same time. Table 2-l lists which Model 7020.MWS
digital outputs must be activated to select each respective RF input. The table also shows 7001 channels used to sclcct the inputs.

Outpul patterns for each input are stored in the Model 7001 memory al the factory. The user can call up memory locations to
select each input. For example, calling up memory location 1 selects input 1. Some programming examples are listed below.
NOTE
In either configuration of the Model 7116.MWS, as one I x I6 multiplexer ol; with the semi-rigidjumper cables
removed, as Jive I x 4 multiplexers, ensure that only one channel is closedper relay, and that no more than two
relays are energized simultaneously per bank.
For further information on operation and programming, refer to the Models 7001 and 7020 Instrwtion Manuals

Operation
Power Limits
The Model 7020-MWS card is a modified version of the Model 7020 Digital I/O Interfacc Card. Among other changes, the output
protection network has hecn removed for greater sink current capacity.
CAUTION
This card is not intended for use in applications other than the Model 7116-MWS system. The 7020.
MWS and 7020 cards are not interchangeable. Damage or unintended operation may result if a Model
7020 is substituted for a 7020-MWS.
NOTE
A hank refer,~ to the internal IC that is used to drive eight output channels. The card uses five driver ICs
(banks) to accomodate the 40 output channels. The outputs are grouped asfollowsfor each bank:
Bank A = OUT 1 through OUT 8
Bank B = OUT 9 through OUT 16
Bank C = OUT 17 through OUT 24
Bank D = OUT 25 through OUT 32
Bank E = OUT 33 through OUT 40
