PSH SPST PIN switch

The series PSH high speed, single-pole, single-throw (SPST) PIN switch covers 18 to 95 GHz in seven waveguide bands. The switch covers full waveguide band up to 40 GHz. The bandwidth drops to 5 GHz at 95 GHz. The standard switching speed is 2 ns (max) with a driver propagation delay of 8 ns (typical). It is available with or without an integral driver. Isolation levels range from 30 dB in K-Band to 18 dB in W-Band. PSH is a reflective device.

1) Switching speed specifications apply to any switch/driver combination. Driver propagation delay not included. Switching speed is driver dependent. 
2) Measured in PASS state only. 
3) Driver control input is TTL compatible with an SMA connector.
