11.21.22 -- Zeroing In On The Perfect RF/Microwave Components Solution For Your System

Device designers accustomed to a lack of coaxial switch options — this switch can only handle low power, or that one only offers momentary actuation — may not realize that a wide variety of options-packed coaxial switches are available through a single supplier.

With so many coaxial switch options out there, it helps to know some common RF electromechanical switch terminology before you determine specification requirements. This guide includes everything you need to know about switches for the commercial, military, and wireless industries so you can make more informed decisions.

Identifying standard catalog solutions that will perform optimally, or even fit adequately, within their systems can be a challenge. dB Control works with each customer to balance their design requirements with cost and performance trade-offs, producing custom layouts that adhere to their specifications.

System design engineers must choose between commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or custom products when sourcing power supplies for military and commercial applications. This article clarifies the misunderstandings of each, including delivery timelines, ease of integration, and real-world performance.
