What:Agilent is offering a free solid state switch application note, "Selecting the Right Switch Technology for your Application". Determining the right switch technology (in terms of RF performance, reliability, switching time, power handling, etc.) to accessorize and/or complement a system set-up requires an investment of time and resources. This application note will not only enhance your core knowledge of the various switch technologies, but will also provide a selection of products currently offered by Agilent to serve as a platform of comparisons for the technologies explained. The two mainstream switch technologies in use today, namely solid state and electro-mechanical (EM), are discussed. The primary focus of the paper is on the theory of operation, coupled with detailed explanations on some of the typical performance details.
