line of multiport coaxial switches. These
50 mechanical-latching switches
come with the performance and relia-
bility that you have come to expect in
Agilent microwave accessories.
Offering excellent electrical and
mechanical performance with broad-
band operation, high isolation, low
SWR, long life, and exceptional
repeatability, these switches are
designed with your applications in
mind. Frequency ranges are available
to 4 GHz and 18 GHz for the A and B
models with SMA connectors and to
26.5 GHz for the C models with APC-
3.5 connectors.
