PA16 Series SP16T Switch

The Series PA16 Non-Reflective SP16T Switches have been designed for distribution of wide-band RF/Microwave signals. Applications include EW Simulators and Test Systems. All output ports are Phase and Amplitude matched to further minimize Simulator calibration and enhance the fidelity of Test Systems.
