Designed with complementary-metal–oxide–semiconductor transistor–transistor logic drivers, the diode switches are matched internally for 50Ω input and output, eliminating the need for any additional sensitive RF tuning components.
Housed in SMA-connected casings that are built to withstand a wide operating temperature range of -54 to +85°C, the switches are suitable for use in many common defence and commercial applications.
“Our new offering of high isolation switches are an important addition to our growing active RF component portfolio,” explains Michael Rachlin, Director of Product Management, Pasternack. “By making a large library of active components available from stock, Pasternack is helping RF engineers test their concepts and ideas more rapidly and complete their projects on time.”
