RMSW 220D™
DESCRIPTION
The RMSW220D™ is a Single Pole
Double Throw (SPDT) Reflective RF
Switch utilizing Radant MEMS Inc.
recent breakthrough technology
that delivers high-linearity, high-
isolation and low-insertion loss in a
wafer-scale package.
This device is ideally suited for use
in many applications such as wire-
less (i.e. handsets, WLAN, broad-
band wireless access, GPS receiv-
ers), RF and Microwave Multi-throw
switches, Radar Beam Steering An-
tennas, Phase shifters, and RF Test
Equipment.
