RF SP3T Switch used in TDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode for switching between TX and RX path with low loss, broadband and high isolation

Overview

RFSW02C RF SP3T Switch is used in TDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode for switching between TX and RX path with low loss, broadband and high isolation. This RF switch is Reflective type and the design incorporates series-shunt circuit elements with the locations optimized to achieve outstanding broadband performance in 2 - 20 GHz. The combination of broadband performance along with very fast switching and excellent settling time make this device ideal for many applications including Test & Measurement, EW and broadband communication systems. This switch is designed using the 0.1um GaAs pHEMT process. Results are shown in datasheet with all parasitics and coupling effects at desired frequency.
