The products utilise IDT’s Kz innovative design technology to maintain a near-constant impedance when switching between RF ports, improving hot switching reliability and system response time while protecting downstream components from transients. The switches are suited for applications including: base stations (2G, 3G and 4G); repeaters; test and ATE equipment; digital pre-distortion; and point-to-point, public safety and cable infrastructures.
Chris Stephens, General Manager, RF division, IDT, commented: “Low-loss, high-isolation multiport switches with high linearity are important components in many of our customers’ applications. By offering RF switches with the Kz innovative design technology we provide our customers with a way to reliably ‘hot switch’ components with minimum voltage and impedance excursions.”
