3. All specifications apply with 50-ohm impedance connected to all RF ports, 0 and –5 VDC control voltages.

4. Loss changes 0.0025 dB/°C (From –55°C to +85°C).

5. For reflective operation RL1/RL2 are unconnected.

6. For absorptive operation RL1 connects to RF1 and RL2 connects to RF2.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.
