Rev. 1.0

Description:
Model SK4-5536536535-1515-R1-M is a PIN diode based,
single pole, four throw (SP4T) reflective switch with a TTL
driver that operates between 55 and 65 GHz. This model
offers a small form factor by integrating the switch anddriver into a common housing and achieves a low insertion
loss by minimizing high loss transmission. The SP4T switch
offers 35 dB port-to-port isolation with a switching speed ofup to 100 nanoseconds. The switch is configured with WR15 waveguides and standard UG-385/U anti-cocking flanges
at the input and outputs and a 10-pin male Molex connector to bias and control the TTL driver.
