MACOM announced a new SPDT Switch-Limiter suited for S-Band military and commercial radar systems.

Optimized for receiver protection in radar applications, the MASL-011023 aims to be an innovative switch-limiter solution for users who require the industry’s fastest recovery time and highest power handling for S-Band receive protection applications.

Connectikpeople has observed that, operating over the 2.7 - 3.5 GHz bandwidth, the device handles 125W of CW power at 85°C
while providing ultra fast recovery time of less than 100 nanoseconds. The switch is offered in a JEDEC standard footprint surface mount 7mm x 7mm QFN package that enables repeatable, high volume manufacturing.

The MASL-011023 also aims to deliver low insertion loss, high isolation and the lowest available flat leakage of 10 dBm in Rx mode and 7 dBm in Tx mode.
