HMC-C011
GaAs MMIC SPDT NON-REFLECTIVE
SWITCH, DC - 20 GHz
v05.0310
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C011 is a general purpose broadband
high isolation non-re ective GaAs MESFET SPDT
switch housed in a miniature hermetic module with
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
Fast Switching
