Pasternack Introduces High Frequency Broadband RF Switches

Pasternack broadband RF solid state switches are active microwave devices that route a high frequency RF signal through a set transmission paths. RF switches from Pasternack are most commonly used in microwave test systems for routing varying RF signals between instruments, allowing multiple tests to be performed at the same time using the same setup.

Pasternack Enterprises’ PIN diode absorptive switches come standard with Transistor-Transistor Logic and can be ordered with SMA or 2.92mm connectors. Pasternack’s high speed switches include single-pole-single-throw, single-pole-double-throw, single-pole-three-throw, single-pole-four-throw, or single-pole-eight-throw switch designs. These absorptive RF switches have switching speeds as low as 1 microsecond and also have very low insertion loss and reflection.

“Our new line of high frequency switches is a great addition to the breadth and depth of our active RF component product family,” says Gerry Camacho, VP of Technical Services at Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. “This new line of RF switches expands Pasternack’s reach into higher frequencies to address increasing customer demands for broadband active components.”

The new lines of High Frequency Broadband switches from Pasternack are available now.
