The AS173-73 is a PHEMT GaAs FET IC high linearity
SPDT switch in a SOT-6 plastic package.This switch has
been designed for use where extremely high linearity, low
insertion loss and ultra miniature package size are
required. It can be controlled with positive, negative or a
combination of both voltages. Some standard
implementations include antenna changeover, T/R and

diversity switching over 2 W.The AS173-73 switch can be
used in many analog and digital wireless communication
systems including cellular, GSM and DECT applications.
