ATS-500 high-power RF switch
Description
The ATS-500 digitally controlled RF switch is used to redirect the RF line of the NMR probe from the autotuning controller to the NMR spectrometer during the signal acquisition mode. This switch is used to integrate the AT-PMSC-1 autotuning system and the existing NMR spectrometer. Except for the use of this switch, no additional RF or I/O connectivity between the spectrometer and AT-PMSC-1 is required.
