HMC546MS8GETR RF/IF and RFID

The HMC546MS8GETR is a member of Hittite\'s family of RF switches. It is a high-speed, high-dynamic range, 8-bit monolithic IC SPDT switch that is designed for LTE and 5G applications. It operates from a single 3.3V power supply and offers low insertion loss and high linearity.

The HMC546MS8GETR is ideal for cellular, LTE, 5G and other high frequency applications. It can be used in applications for antenna selection, 5G small cells, phased array antenna systems, tunable notch filters, selective FM receive filters, and many more. Its high linearity ensures low distortion for high accuracy performance.

The HMC546MS8GETR is built from an active semiconductor circuit that consists of two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches. This component is capable of handling up to 5 watts of power and is suitable for use up to 10GHz. Its low insertion loss across the entire frequency range ensures high system performance.

The HMC546MS8GETR switch has a wide input dynamic range of 95 dBc. This ensures high linearity and low distortion across the entire frequency range. The switch is also capable of handling up to 20V of DC voltage and 10A of DC current.

The working principle of this RF switch is quite simple. It is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch with two inputs and one output. When a voltage is applied to one of the inputs, it allows a signal to pass through from that input to the output. The other input is then automatically disabled. This allows for selection of an input signal among multiple inputs.

The HMC546MS8GETR switch also provides wide frequency coverage, with operation from DC to 10GHz. It offers low insertion loss of typically 0.1dB across the entire frequency range. Additionally, the switch features excellent isolation of approximately 70dB across the same range.

Overall, the HMC546MS8GETR is a great choice for applications in the cellular, LTE and 5G industries. The combination of low insertion loss, wide frequency coverage, high linearity, and good isolation make it an ideal choice for applications in high performance systems.
