Description
The AP640R5-A3 is a broadband millimeterwave singlepole double-throw (SPDT) switch in a rugged surface mount package which is compatible with high-volume solder installation. Based on PIN diode MMIC technology, the switch is designed for use in millimeterwave communication and sensor systems when low loss and high linearity are required. Typical applications are transmit/receive function for TDD systems or switching between signal paths.
