Waveguide Switches Control 5.38 To 40 GHz

April 23, 2009

The series 336 low-cost family of waveguide switches from Flann Microwave is ideal for high-frequency system applications requiring low insertion loss with moderate switching speed. The waveguide switches, which are available in standard waveguide bands from 5.38 to 40.00 GHz, feature insertion loss as low as 0.06 dB or less with return loss of 32 dB or more. The waveguide switches are rated for power-handling capability of 5 kW and achieve switching speeds of 70 ms.
