4. All specifications apply when operated with control voltages of 0 V for VC low and 5 to 10 V for VC high, and 50 Ω impedance at all RF

ports, unless otherwise specified. High power (greater than 1 W) handling specifications apply to cold switching only. For input powers

under 1 W, hot switching can be used. The high control voltage must be within ± 0.2 V of the supply voltage. External DC blocking

capacitors are required on all RF ports.

5. Typical values listed for middle of frequency range noted.
