Key Features
- Nonreflective 50 Ω design to minimize reflections and ensure high signal integrity.
- Low insertion loss: 1.3 dB to 1.8 dB across the frequency range of 0.1 GHz to 6 GHz.
- High isolation: up to 55 dB at lower frequencies and 46 dB at higher frequencies.
- High input linearity with 0.1 dB compression point (P0.1dB) of 34 dBm typical and third-order intercept (IP3) of 57 dBm typical.
- High power handling capability, with the ability to handle up to 33 dBm at 85°C.
- Bidirectional operation, allowing the RF input signal to be applied to the RFC port while the RF throw port (RF1 to RF5) is output, or vice versa.
- A 3-bit, 1.8 V logic-compatible control interface controlled through the V1, V2, and V3 digital control voltage pins.
