MACOM Extends RF Switch Technology Leadership with New Broadband, High-Speed SPDT SwitchesMACOM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM"), a leading supplier of high-performance RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic solutions, today announced the newest entries in its industry-renowned, high-performance RF switch portfolio. Optimized for use in SATCOM, 5G wireless, test and measurement (T&M), EW and microwave radio applications, the new GaAs-based SPDT MASW Series switches provide best-in-class broadband frequency coverage and high-speed switching capability. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180612005773/en/ The new MASW-011105 SPDT reflective switch covers the 17.7 - 31 GHz frequency range, with low insertion loss of 1.6 dB, high isolation at 30dB and switching speed of 12 ns, offered in a lead-free 3 mm, 14-lead QFN surface mount plastic package. The new MASW-011107 SPDT non-reflective switch, offered in bare die format, covers the DC - 26.5 GHz frequency range, with low insertion loss of 1.3 dB and high isolation at 46 dB when operating at 20 GHz. Both devices are fabricated via robust processes with full surface passivation aimed at ensuring high-performance and high reliability.
