Although Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) MMIC switches can achieve fast switching, wide bandwidth and high frequency and power, most come at high cost. GaAs MMIC switch designs achieve comparable performance at considerably lower cost with distinct advantages. Read why Mini-Circuits’ GaAs MMIC technology switches afford a compelling alternative to comparable SOI models.
