Switch Commands 0.5 to 18.0 GHz

July 10, 2014
This high-speed switch provides signal control from 0.5 to 18.0 GHz.

Model P32T-0R5G18G-60-T-SFF is a high-speed, single-pole, 32-throw (SP32T) absorptive solid-state switch with low loss and high isolation between ports from 0.5 to 18.0 GHz. It exhibits 8.5-dB typical insertion loss across that frequency range, with typical isolation of 78 dB. The minimum isolation is 60 dB from 0.5 to 2.0 GHz and 70 dB from 2 to 18 GHz. It is rated for maximum input power of +20 dBm CW and will survive input power levels to 1 W (+30 dBm). The switch, which is designed for maximum VSWR of 2.0:1, achieves 100-ns maximum switching speed.

The SP32T switch measures 8.0 × 3.5 × 1.0 in. with SMA female connectors and is controlled by 5-b decoded transistor-transistor-logic (TTL) signals. It draws 1600 mA at +5 VDC and 200 mA at -5 VDC and handles operating temperatures from -55 to +85°C.
