Hittite Microwave Corp has introduced the first wideband GaAs MMIC switch within the company's connectorised module product line.

The HMC-C011 nonreflective SPDT switch module is ideal for military EW/ECM, space, wideband telecomms, industrial, microwave radio and test equipment applications from DC to 20GHz.

The HMC-C011 is a rugged DC to 20GHz, nonreflective SPDT switch in a connectorised hermetic housing with field replaceable SMA connectors.

This high performance switch offers 2dB insertion loss, 35 to 65dB isolation and +23dBm input P1dB.

An integrated high speed CMOS driver enables extremely fast 1.3ns rise and fall times with low video transients of 10mV.

The HMC-C011 operates from a single +5V supply and consumes only 1.4mA of bias current.

The connectorised module product line uses Hittite's standard wideband MMIC products taking advantage of the company's design, manufacturing and quality knowledge base.
