SP4T TTL Switch Routes 0.1 to 18.0 GHz
Mini-Circuits’ model TTL-1SP4T-183 is a single-pole, four-throw (SP4T) switch with low loss from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. With female SMA connectors on all RF ports, the absorptive switch exhibits typical insertion loss of 2.5 dB to 10 GHz and 4.0 dB or less to 18 GHz. Typical isolation between ports is at least 65 dB to 10 GHz and 60 dB to 18 GHz. TTL control simplifies integration into radios, radar and test systems while enabling 100 ns switching time.
Coaxial Amplifier Gains 0.5 to 18.0 GHz
Mini-Circuits’ model ZX60-R5183P+ is a coaxial amplifier with 3 dB positive gain slope from 0.5 to 18.0 GHz. Typical gain is 6.5 dB from 0.5 to 5.0 GHz, increasing to 9.5 dB from 15.0 to 18.0 GHz. Noise figure drops with frequency, typically 6.1 dB from 0.5 to 5.0 GHz and 4.5 dB from 1.50 to 18.0 GHz. The RoHS-compliant amplifier, with female SMA connectors, provides at least +10.2 dBm typical output power at 1 dB compression across the full bandwidth.
Coaxial Diplexer Screens DC to 40 GHz
Mini-Circuits’ model ZDSS-K10G13G+ is a suspended-substrate-strip line coaxial diplexer for isolating signals within DC to 40 GHz. Equipped with 2.92 mm connectors, it is ideal for ECM and ELINT systems. Insertion loss is typically 1.0 dB across the lowpass passband of DC to 10.5 GHz and typically 1.5 dB for the 13.5 to 20.0 GHz highpass passband. Stopband rejection to 40 GHz is as much as 90 dB in the highpass channel and as much as 70 dB to 40 GHz in the lowpass channel.
