Charter Engineering Offers High-Power Coaxial Switches for Amplifiers, RF Testing, Electronic Warfare Applications

Charter Engineering, Inc. (CEI) has developed a line of high-power coaxial switches that provide highly reliable and repeatable switching for any application. The SMA, Type N, and Type SC coaxial switches available in SPDT, Multi-Position, and Transfer (DPDT) models offer exceptional RF performance in Return Loss (VSWR)Insertion Loss, and Isolation.

These High Power Coaxial Switches can handle up to:

  • 900 W @ 100 MHz and 200 W CW @ 2 GHz with SMA Connectors. The switches operate from DC - 26.5 GHz.
  • 3 kW @ 100 MHz and 700 W CW @ 2 GHz with Type N Connectors. The switches operate from DC - 12.4 GHz.
  • 5 kW @ 100 MHz and 1.2 kW CW @ 2 GHz with Type SC Connectors. The switches operate from DC - 6.0 GHz.
  • Add option /P for very high power capability

Coaxial switch power handling is crucial in amplifiers, RF testing, electronic warfare and many other applications. CEI utilizes specialized materials, plating, and proprietary manufacturing techniques to ensure a highly reliable and repeatable switching component. These switches use specialized materials to achieve High Power & Temperature.

CEI’s extensive line of RF and microwave coaxial switches are ideal for the commercial, military, ATE, and specialty markets. All products include low insertion loss, high isolation, and outstanding repeatability. Each switch series is available in the failsafe, latching, or momentary (normally open) configuration.

CEI’s electromechanical (EM) switches are designed where reliability and performance are critical characteristics for applications. All CEI coaxial switches offer an option for low passive intermodulation, very high average power or defense (/MS) capability.
