New GaAs MMIC DPDT Switch From NEC Targets 5 GHz Applications

CL-317P

Santa Clara, CA -- NEC announced a new GaAs MMIC DPDT switch that operates at 4.8 to 5.85 GHz and is designed specifically for antenna diversity switching. The UPG2024TQ features low insertion loss, great power handing, and high isolation. The switch is ideal for engineers working on 5 to 6 GHz 802.11a WLAN, cordless phones, or fixed wireless access designs.

Typical specs include:

  • Operating frequency: 4.8 to 5.85 GHz
  • Insertion loss: 1.2 dB
  • Isolation: 25 dB
  • PIN 0.1dB: +32 dBm
  • Control voltage: 2.8/0V

The UPG2024TQ is housed in NEC's miniature, low-profile 10-pin TSON style "TQ" package. Measuring 2.4 x 2.55 x 0.6 mm, the TQ allows engineers to increase placement densities and reduce the size of their designs.

The UPG2024TQ is in stock and available now from California Eastern Laboratories (CEL). To help speed circuit design, evaluation boards are available.
