Application Notes for RF Switches
Kratos General Microwave has developed series HPS900 line of High Power SPDT switches for various applications. These switches operate in the IFF and L bands, providing Power handling capability of up to 1kW in cold switching.
Typically these switches are assembled in a multi-switch assembly. The number of switches in one sub-assembly depends upon the specific architecture of the system. The control and supply voltages to the switch sub-assembly is supplied via a multi-pin connector.
