SPDT Switches
SPDT (single pole double through) Switch is a configuration of RF Switches that features a single input port (single pole) and two output ports (double through). While operating, it routes RF signal from the single input port to one of its two output ports. SPDT switches are ideal for use in transmit/receive switching, integrated subsystems, test instruments, automated switching networks, and general RF switching in industry areas such as radar, military, aerospace, cellular communication, and space applications.
Important Parameters when Looking for SPDT Switches:
- Operating Frequency: It is the operating frequency range for which the device is fully functional and provides the best performance.
- Termination: This signifies the way in which the switch paths are terminated when they are not active. They can be absorptive or reflective.
- Insertion Loss: The signal loss from the input to the output of the switch after routing is called insertion loss.
- Isolation: The isolation is a measure of how much of the input signal gets to one of the non-active signal paths in a switch.
- Input Power: This is the power level that the switch can handle while maintaining its electrical characteristics.
- Switching Time: This represents the speed at which the desired signal path can be reached.
