Description
The MASW-004100-1193 is a SP4T series-shunt broad band switch made with M/A-COM’s unique HMICTM (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process, US Patent 5,268,310. This process allows the incorporation of silicon pedestals that form series and shunt diodes or vias by imbedding them in a low loss, low dispersion glass. This hybrid combination of silicon and glass gives HMIC switches exceptional low loss and remarkable high isolation through low millimeterwave frequencies.

FEATUREs
• Ultra Broad Bandwidth: 50MHz to 26GHz
• 0.9 Insertion Loss , 34dB Isolation at 20GHz
• 50nS Switching Speed
• Reliable, Fully Monolithic, Glass Encapsulated Construction

APPLICATIONs
   These high performance switches are suitable for use in multi-band ECM, radar, and instrumentation control circuits where high isolation to insertion loss ratios are required. With a standard +5V/-5V, TTL controlled PIN diode driver, 50nS switching speeds are achieved.
