HMC-C011
GaAs MMIC SPDT NON-REFLECTIVE
SWITCH, DC - 20.0 GHz
v00.0605
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C011 is a general purpose broadband high
isolation non-refl ective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch
housed in a miniature hermetic module with fi eld
replaceable SMA connectors. Covering DC to 20
GHz, the switch offers high isolation and low insertion
loss. The switch features >45 dB isolation up to 5 GHz
and >35 dB isolation up to 20 GHz. CMOS interface
allows a single positive +5V bias voltage at very low
DC currents.
High Isolation: >45 dB up to 5 GHz
>35 dB up to 20 GHz
Low Insertion Loss: 2 dB @ 12 GHz
2.5 dB @ 16 GHz
