TRANSMIT/RECEIVE SWITCH
Product Description
The RF2436 is a very low-cost transmit/receive GaAs
MESFET switch. The device can handle power levels as
high as +28dBm and spans a frequency range from DC
to 2500MHz. The switch will operate from power supply
voltages as low as 1.5V and as high as 6V with a CMOS
logic driver for the control input. No negative voltage is
required, and current consumption is very low. VSWR for
the active channel (transmit or receive) is 1.1:1. The
device is housed in a very small industry-standard SOT
5-lead plastic package.
