COMPONENTS
Solid-State Switch
SK4-7531148030-1010-R1-M is a MMIC based, solid-state single pole, four throw (SP4T), reflective type switch with a TTL driver that operates between 75 and 110 GHz. This model offers a small form factor by integrating the switch and driver into a common housing and achieves a low insertion loss by minimizing circuit loss transmission losses. The SP4T switch offers 30 dB port-to-port isolation with a switching speed of up to 100 nanoseconds. The input and output connectors of the switch are WR-10 waveguides with standard UG-387/U-M anti-cocking flanges.
