MACOM Technology Solutions Inc (which makes semiconductors, components and subassemblies for RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and lightwave applications) has built on the performance of its gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based SPDT (single-pole double-throw) MASW Series switches by adding the MASW-011102 (available now), optimized forapplications spanning test & measurement, electronic warfare (EW) and broadband communication systems.
The MASW-011102 low-power SPDT non-reflective RF switch supports broadband operation from DC to 30GHz, with low insertion loss of 1.8dB and high isolation of 40dB at 30GHz. It utilizes MACOM’s patented low-gate-lag GaAs process to deliver fast switching speed up to 40ns.
Offered in a lead-free, 3mm, 14-lead PQFN plastic package for ease of manufacturing, the MASW-011102 is fabricated using a robust process containing full surface passivation aimed at ensuring the highest performance and reliability.
MACOM is showcasing its RF technology portfolio in booth #271 at European Microwave Week (EuMW 2018) in Madrid, Spain (25–27 September), featuring new product solutions optimized for 5G, wireless basestations, radar, test & measurement, and industrial, scientific & medical (ISM) applications.
