N connector series extending DC-18GHz

13 March 2020

EPX Microwave announces a new series of coaxial switches, extending the usual N connector frequency range of DC~12.4 GHz to DC~18 GHz. Each model is available with the option of built-in internal terminations. The series includes single pole double throw, transfer and single pole multi-throw models up to 12 ports.

 

These new DC~18 GHz switches provide excellent wideband RF performance. In the 12~18 GHz band the SPDT has Insertion Loss of less than 0.4 dB， Isolation   greater than 70 dB， and port to port VSWR better than 1.5:1. Other models  shown below, have similarly excellent performance. The switches can all handle powers up to 185 Watts CW. In the -25ºC to +70ºC operating temperature range，the switch life time is greater than 2 million operations.

 

With the higher power capability of N connectors, this series will be suitable for higher power applications in wide band DC~18 GHz radar system, telecommunications, and related test equipment.
