Z-Communications Inc. has announced the RFSW30, a new general-purpose single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. The RFSW30 features a low insertion loss of 3 dB over the entire frequency range of 9 kHz to 30 GHz, and a high input linearity of 1 dB power compression (P1dB) of 28 dBm. The RFWS30 is part of Z-COMM’s new product line of connectorized modules for lab bench and prototyping applications, varying from test and measurement, radar, ECMs, VSAT, and potential OEM partnerships.
The RFSW30 single-pole, double throw (SPDT) switch is a new addition to ZCOMM’s product line in the RF frequency chain and compliments the company’s existing frequency sources such as the SSG22645LX wideband frequency synthesizer (45 MHz to 22 GHz), the AWB0022M wide band amplifier (DC to 22 GHz), and the standard VCO and PLL product offerings. With these products, the user will have the ability to generate frequencies over a very wide range and drive other devices along the RF analog chain.
The RFSW30 non-reflective 50 Ω design provides a high isolation of 60 dB up to 30 GHz. The unit can handle a high-power input of up to 24 dBm at the in-through path and terminated path. The switch is bidirectional; the RF input signal can be applied to the RFC port while the RF throw port (RF1 or RF2) is the output, or vice versa.
The RFSW30 is powered by a single +5V power source and it’s housed in a compact enclosure with dimensions of 2 in. (50.8 mm) L x 1.4 in. (35.6 mm) W x 0.46 in. (11.7 mm) H.
The RFSW30 single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch is available from stock through Z-COMM’s e-commerce site and priced at $1,500.00.
