RF switches are widely used in microwave systems due to their small size, low losses, fast switching speed, and low cost. The UPG2408TB-A is a 8x8 RF switch matrix that is widely used in antenna selection for military and commercial telecommunication and telemetry applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principles of the UPG2408TB-A.

The UPG2408TB-A is designed for applications where there is no requirement for high gain, such as in the case of antenna selection for base stations. It features eight input ports and eight output ports, and the matrix can be configured with any combination of those ports for signal routing. The switch has a switching speed of less than 5 microseconds and can support frequencies up to 6GHz. The insertion loss of the switch is also low, at up to 3db, and the isolation between ports is typically greater than 40dB.

The UPG2408TB-A is capable of handling high input power levels of up to 28 dBm, making it ideal for applications where large amounts of power are required. The switch can also be used in applications where very fast switching speeds are needed, as it can switch in less than 5 microseconds. This makes it suitable for use in switching networks used in telemetry applications, where very fast switching times are critical.

The UPG2408TB-A is based on two switching configurations, which are known as a ‘general purpose’ and ‘masthead’ configurations. The general purpose configuration selects one port out of the eight available ports in response to a single voltage signal, while the masthead configuration selects up to four ports in response to one voltage signal. This allows for greater flexibility in the way the switch is used.

The UPG2408TB-A uses a variety of technologies in order to achieve its performances. These include a control logic and switching integrated circuit (CPLIC) that is used to control the switching of the switch, as well as a high-speed signal amplifier and biasing circuitry. The combination of these technologies allows for fast switching times and excellent isolation between ports.

The UPG2408TB-A also features a range of protection features that are designed to prevent damage to the switch. These include electro-static discharge protection circuits, over-voltage and temperature protection, and an integrated voltage regulator for improved power supply stability. These features make the UPG2408TB-A an excellent choice for applications where protection against electrical shocks is important.

Overall, the UPG2408TB-A is an excellent choice for applications requiring fast switching speeds and low insertions losses. It is capable of handling high input power levels and can be configured in both general purpose and masthead configurations. Its range of protection features ensures that it can be used in a variety of demanding RF environments without risk of damage or performance degradation. It is an ideal choice for applications requiring a high performing and flexible RF switch.
