Switches

We offer small modular customizable antenna switches for a variety of applications. These include low SWAP modules for vehicular DF systems or rack-mount equipment for test systems. We also offer switches with multiple inputs and outputs for RF Distribution. The switches incorporate a proprietary linear amplifier design for high-dynamic range and provide a nominal gain of 0 dB.
