Series 91 and 92 Miniature Broadband SP3T Switches

Application Notes for RF Switches

MODELS 9130-500 and 9230-500

These switches provide high-performance characteristics over a multi-octave frequency range. The model 9130-500 covers the 1 to 18 GHz frequency range while the Model 9230-500 covers the 0.2 to 4 GHz range. This description and operation are the same as that for the Models 9120-500 and 9220-500 SP2T switches.

MODELS 9130T-500, 9130W-500 and 9230T-500

 

These switches are non-reflective version of the switches described above.

MODELS 9130AH-500 and 9130AHT-500

 

These switches are the same as the 9120AH-500 and 9120AHT-500 except for the number of ports.

SERIES F91 and F92

 

The Series F91 and F92 switches are the same as the corresponding Series 91 and 92 models, except the units are equipped with integrated drivers.

SERIES G91 and G92

 

Operating from +5 and +15V power supplies only, the G-series switches provide high performance characteristics at relatively high speeds over multi-octave frequency ranges. The series includes low Insertion loss and high isolation models in both reflective and non-reflective configurations. Series G91 units cover the frequency range of 1 to 18 GHz; Series G92 units cover the frequency range of 0.2 to 4 GHz. The design is based on an integrated circuit assembly of PIN diodes mounted in a microstrip transmission line as shown below. The currents required to switch the ports ON or OFF are provided by the integrated driver, which is controlled by external TTL logic signals.

 

  • Frequency range (Series 91):
    1 to 18 GHz
  • Frequency ranged (Series 92): 0.2 to 4 GHz
  • Rise and fall times as fast as
    10 nsec
  • Reflective and Non-reflective models
  • Low VSWR and Insertion loss
  • Isolation: up to 60 dB
  • iniature size, light weight

NOTE
(1) Models prefixed with "F" or "G" are equipped with integrated TTL-compatible drivers; models without the "F" or "G" prefix are current-controlled units and are furnished without drivers; models suffixed with "T" or "W" are non-reflective except a high VSWR will be present at the common port if all other ports are OFF; models suffixed with "H" are high-speed units.
