General Description
The HMC-C058 is a general purpose broadband
high isolation non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT
switch housed in a miniature hermetic module with
field 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.
