MASW-004103-13650G

Radio Frequency (RF) switches are devices used to alternately connect and disconnect two or more circuits with minimal RF losses and usually over a wide frequency range. A RF switch can be implemented using a PIN diode detector, transistors, or even as a digital control circuit. In essence, the device is able to direct the RF signal to a certain channel line. The MASW-004103-13650G model is used in a variety of applications due to its versatile design, as it has relatively low insertion losses and high isolation.

MASW-004103-13650G Application Field

The MASW-004103-13650G switch is typically deployed in military and aerospace, communication equipment, digital TV, cell phone transmissions, repeaters, and trunking systems. With its high linearity performance and wide frequency band, it is even employed in test and measurement equipment as well as base station systems.

MASW-004103-13650G Working Principle

A basic RF switch consists of two electronic control bits (IN and OUT) and a Radio Frequency signal path. In order for a RF switch to perform its job correctly, some control signals are needed to be activated. Depending on the type of switch, the control signals can be generated through a solenoid, semiconductor, or resistor network. The MASW-004103-13650G switch works similarly to other RF switches; it requires two control signals, one to connect the RF signal to the input line and the other to disconnect it. The control signals are generated by an external circuit connected to the switch.

The MASW-004103-13650G switch has a high linearity performance at a wide frequency band, ranging from 40 MHz to 6000 MHz. Its low insertion loss and high isolation makes it very reliable in applications where low levels of interference are desirable. The device has a voltage of 13.2V and a current of 1mA, and it requires a power of 15.2W. These features make it ideal for applications in which strong and reliable RF switch performance is required.
