HMC-C058
GaAs MMIC SPDT NON-REFLECTIVE
SWITCH, DC - 18 GHz
v01.0711
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram The HMC-C058 is a general purpose broadband
high isolation non-reective GaAs MESFET SPDT
switch housed in a miniature hermetic module with
eld replaceable SMA connectors. Covering DC to
18 GHz, the switch offers high isolation and low
insertion loss. The switch features >65 dB isolation
up to 6 GHz and >50 dB isolation up to 18 GHz. A
CMOS interface allows a single +5V bias voltage at
very low DC currents.
High Isolation: >65 dB up to 6 GHz
>50 dB up to 18 GHz
Low Insertion Loss: 2 dB @ 8 GHz
2.8 dB @ 12 GHz
Fast Switching: 3 ns Rise/Fall Times
Non-Reective Design
Hermetically Sealed Module
Field Replaceable SMA connectors
-55 to +85 °C Operating Temperature
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, With Vdc = +5V & 0/+5V Control, 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC-C058 is ideal for:
• Fiber Optics & Broadband Telecom
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military Radios, Radar, & ECM
