General Description

The HMC-C058 is a general purpose broadband high isolation non-refl ective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch housed in a miniature hermetic module with f 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.
