Reflective switch operates from 30MHz to 3GHz
The new 100W single-pole, triple-throw reflective switch from M/A-COM Technology Solutions is available from Richardson RFPD with full design support. The MASW-011030 is offered in a common anode configuration and operates from 30 MHz to 3 GHz. It features low insertion loss and excellent linearity, with low DC consumption, and is capable of handling 100W continuous wave incident power at a base plate temperature of 85ºC.
The switch is manufactured using MACOM’s hybrid manufacturing process featuring high voltage PIN diodes and passive devices integrated in a 7 mm HQFN 16-lead plastic package.
It is ideal for use on land mobile radio and MIL-COM applications that require higher CW and pulsed power operation.
According to MACOM, additional key features of the MASW-011030 include:
- Insertion loss: 0.35 dB @ 2 GHz
- Isolation: 40 dB @ 2 GHz
- Class 1B HBM ESD Rating
