Expanding the RF Multiplexer

Figure 2-6 shows how to expand the SCXI-1190/1191 by cascading stages

together.In the specific case of Figure 2-6, the module is used to create a

13-to-1multiplexer with a two-stage architecture. You can cascade several

modules to provide even larger multiplexers.

Note Cascadingmultiplexers increases insertion loss, creates propagation delays, and can

haveother RF effects.
