Tyco Electronics M/A-COM introduces high power SPDT switch for WiMAX, WLAN, fixed wireless access and mesh network applications
(Product News, 09 Jul 2008 )
Tyco Electronics M/A-COM has announced the MASW-007921, a new DC-7 GHz SPDT RoHS compliant switch for applications that require low insertion loss and fast settling times over a wide frequency range in an ultra small package size.
In many linear systems such as WiMAX, LTE, and Ultra Wide Band, linear benchmarks are critical for superior system performance. The MASW-007921 has an especially high initial compression point (40dBm @ 3V), well-suited for complex modulations such as OFDM, with large peak to average power levels.
M/A-COM’s MASW-007921 is fabricated on a low-cost 0.5-micron gate-length GaAs process with full passivation added for robust reliability, which is achieved in a miniature 2mm 8 lead PDFN package. Each MASW-007921 switch is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance, similar to many of M/A-COM’s switch offerings.
