RFMD launches 400-3500MHz broadband SPDT switch

RF Micro Devices Inc of Greensboro, NC, USA has launched the RF1602 single-pole dual-throw (SPDT) switch, designed for switching applications requiring very low insertion loss, high isolation, and high power handling capability coupled with minimal DC power consumption. With a frequency range of 400-3500MHz, performance has been optimized for cellular applications demanding stringent linearity requirements, such as SV-LTE, WCDMA, and CDMA.

The RF1602 offers very high isolation between RF ports (typically 42dB at 1GHz), providing greater separation between transmit and receive paths. Insertion loss is typically 0.3dB at 1GHz. Linearity (IIP2) is typically 129dBm.

With no external DC blocking capacitors required on RF paths unless DC is applied externally, the RF1602 is packaged in a very compact 2mm x 2mm x 0.55mm 12-pin QFN package. Pricing begins at $1.14 each for 25 pieces.
