Reflective Switch Gates G-Band Signals
Model SKS-1442243035-0505-R1-M is a single pole, single throw (SPST) reflective switch that operates from 140 to 220 GHz. The switch exhibits insertion loss of 3 dB in the ON state with typical isolation of 35 dB in the OFF state. In-line WR-05 waveguide ports have UG-387/U-M anti-cocking flanges. An SMA connector accepts the TTL-level control signal. The switching speed is 100 ns. Bias voltages of +1 and -2 V are required. The switch measures 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.75 in.

AT Series of RF Chip Attenuators from DC to 20 GHz
RF chip attenuators are components used in communication systems to reduce the strength of a signal passing through it. They play a crucial role in protecting systems from receiving a signal with a power level that is too high to process. The range being introduced from Smiths Interconnect is significant because it offers a high frequency of DC to 20 GHz which is required for use in key commercial and space applications.
