ARV13N4HQ

RF (Radio Frequency) switches are a vital component of communication systems to control the signal paths in radio equipment. They are used to switch in or out specific circuits or antennas in mobile communications, satellite communication links and other radio frequency networks. The ARV13N4HQ is an example of a RF switch that operates in the 2.0-3.6 GHz frequency range. It provides switching from 2X3 and 1X4 configurations in a single module.

The ARV13N4HQ features an integrated RF load, an integrated low ripple voltage regulator, a high Frequency & low Loss RF switch and isolation control. The RF switch consists of two paths separated by an RF shield. On one path, the RF loads are integrated at the input and output nodes. The other path provides isolation control and impedance matching. The two paths are driven by an integrated high frequency & low loss VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) for accurate and fast switching.

The ARV13N4HQ is capable of controlling up to two signals in each of the 3 input ports and four output ports with excellent performance. It offers very low insertion loss, low isolation between input and output ports and high linearity performance. Furthermore, the switch can be configured to operate in a single antenna mode or a dual antenna mode. In single antenna mode, the switch will begin to route the signal to the output port immediately after the first signal is detected.

In dual antenna mode, the switch will wait until both input signals are present before routing the signal to the output port. The output port will remain in a high isolation state until both signals are detected. This ensures that there is no cross-talk between input and output signals.

The ARV13N4HQ is designed for excellent RF performance and features integrated digital commands, making it an easy-to-use solution. The integrated VCA allows for fast switching with minimal control equipment. The switch features low power consumption and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

The ARV13N4HQ is designed for a variety of applications, including cellular base stations, wireless communication systems, satellites, and medical equipment. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as switching antennas, routing signal paths, and providing gain control and frequency shifting. Additionally, the switch can be used to reduce interference by isolating unwanted signals or reducing power consumption.

The ARV13N4HQ is a versatile RF switch, offering excellent performance and flexibility. It is designed for easy integration into existing systems and is suitable for a variety of applications. It offers low costs, high linearity performance, low insertion loss, and low power consumption. With its wide operating temperature range, it is ideal for a variety of applications.
