The AP640R5-A3 is a broadband millimeterwave singlepole double-throw (SPDT) switch in a rugged surface mount package which is compatible with high-volume solder installation. Based on PIN diode MMIC technology, the switch is designed for use in millimeterwave communication and sensor systems when low loss and high linearity are required. Typical applications are transmit/receive function for TDD systems or switching between signal paths. The robust ceramic surface mount package provides excellent electrical performance and a high degree of environmental protection for long-term reliability. All switches are screened at the operating frequencies prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. Switch is targeted for high-volume broadband applications such as satellite and fixed wireless systems.
