Description

RFSW-06-SP4T-A-U-S is a very low cost, absorptive SP4T switch with USB control. It offers very high switching speed (< 2.5 µs) as well as very high linearity characteristics with a typical IP3 as +58 dBm and P1dB as +34 dBm. Its solid-state absorptive design comes with an excellent isolation as 50 dB typical over a very high frequency range between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. Its robust and high handling capacity design (+29 dBm) allows RFSW-06-SP4T-A-U-S to be used for a wide variety of RF applications.  USB powered design makes it ideal for automated test setups with a flexibility of creating automated test patterns/sequences.
