New SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches for transmit and receive signal routing applications

Pasternack has released a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches that provide desirable performance for transmit and receive signal routing applications. Typical applications are in radar systems, base station infrastructure, repeaters, EW applications, public safety/land mobile radios, defence/microwave radios, UHF/VHF radios, and test and measurement applications. The company's new line of switches consists of seven different models that offer outstanding power handling and isolation with broadband performance and fast switching speed. Perfect for transmit and receive applications, these solid-state PIN diode switches are ideal for connecting from an antenna to a receiver or for a transmitter with frequent changeovers. They offer input CW power handling (hot switching) capability up to 150W, high isolation levels up to 75dB typical and frequency coverage ranges from 20MHz up to 2700MHz. “Pasternack’s new series of high-power PIN diode RF switches offer impressive input power handling and isolation with broadband performance and fast switching speed. Designers can select from seven different models with frequencies that range from 20MHz up to 2700MHz for applications that may involve radar, EW, defence and commercial radios, and test and measurement. All models are readily available for urgent demands with no minimum order quantity required,” said Tim Galla, product manager.
