The USB-1SP2T-A44 from Mini-Circuits is an Absorptive SPDT Switch that operates from 0.1 to 43.5 GHz. It provides high isolation, low insertion loss, and good linearity across the entire band. The switch can handle an input power of up to 27 dBm, has an insertion loss of less than 5.5 dB and isolation of over 50 dB @ 40 GHz. It has a switching time of 2 ms and is designed to connect up to 25 modules in series (Daisy chain) using dynamic addressing. This means that there is no need to specifically set the address of the modules, and the addresses will be set automatically as part of establishing the communications with the PC.
The USB-1SP2T-A44 comes with full software support including a user-friendly GUI application for Windows and full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems). It is available in a module with 2.92 mm RF connectors and is ideal for mmWave signal switching, 5G semiconductor/component testing, high throughput production test, and X / Ku / K / Ka-band switching applications.
