The MSN-0518-25T-30DB-HERM-1JV from American Microwave Corporation is an SP25T Switch Matrix that operates from 0.5 to 18 GHz (can be extended up to 40 GHz). This non-reflective absorptive switch has an insertion loss of less than 10 dB, isolation of over 60 dB, and a switching time of less than 2 us. It has an integrated 30 dB coupler on its common port and uses a combination of suspended and stripline substrate design. The switch requires a power supply of +5/-12 VDC and consumes up to 220 mA of current. It can be controlled via encoded 5-bit TTL inputs and can be latched by the use of a dual-rail strobe. The switch matrix is available in a hermetically sealed package that measures 13.25 (L) x 2.65 (W) x 0.4 (H) inches and is ideal for ELINT, radars, and electronic warfare applications.
