Optimal operation is achieved by simultaneous
application of negative DC voltage to the low loss
switch path and positive DC voltage to the isolating
switch path.
In the low loss path, the diodes are reverse biased.
In the isolating path, the diodes are forward biased.
Minimum Reverse Bias Required:
At X-Band, with a 1:1 match, 5 V of reverse bias is
required. With a 4:1 match, 10 V of reverse bias is
required.
However MACOM recommends 30 V of reverse bias
to achieve optimal operating conditions.
