E-Band and W-Band Waveguide PIN Diode Switch Series Introduced by Pasternack

Pasternack E Band and W Band PIN Diode Waveguide Switch Product Line Is In-Stock and Ships Same Day

E-band and W-band PIN diode waveguide switch series is introduced by Pasternack. These E band and W band SPST and DPDT waveguide switch product lines are reflective designs that operate over an ultra-broadband frequency range with fast switching performance. These waveguide switches are ideal for telecommunications, test instrumentation, research and development. The waveguide SPST and DPDT switch series can also be used for radar front end applications that may involve general switching, receiver protection, pulse modulation and/or antenna beam switching.

The single-pole single-throw (SPST) and double-pole double-throw (DPDT) PIN diode waveguide switch products from Pasternack consists of four models with fully integrated WR-10 and WR-12 waveguide ports covering popular E-band (60 GHz to 90 GHz) and W-band (75 GHz to 110 GHz) frequencies. Switch circuits integrate low loss Finline assemblies with high performance GaAs beam-lead diodes. These features of the waveguide switches results in 4 dB typical insertion loss, greater than 25 dB of Isolation and fast switching speed < 300 nsec.

These waveguide PIN diode switch series in E-band and W-band incorporate TTL driver circuitry with an SMA connector control port for ease of use. All switch models require a dual voltage bias of +5 / -5 Vdc and have a maximum rated CW input power level of 0.5 dBm. Rugged MIL-grade compact package configurations combine both switch and control module packages and offer maximum performance and reliability over a full temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

As with the over 40,000 RF, microwave and millimeter wave Pasternack components, these E and W band waveguide PIN diode switch series are in-stock. In addition to being in stock, the waveguide switches also ship the same day.
