SKD-5537132725-1515-R1

Rev. 1.0

Description:
Model SKD-5537132725-1515-R1 a reflective PIN diode based, single
pole, double throw (SPDT) switch with a TTL driver that operates from55 to 71 GHz. This model has an insertion loss of 2.7 dB typical and anisolation of 25 dB nominal at its center frequency. The SPDT switch
features WR-15 waveguides with UG-385/U flanges at the RF input andoutput and a female SMA connector for TTL control on the driver. Theswitch can be modified for various operational frequencies under
different model numbers.

All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit slightly.
All testing was performed under +25˚C case temperature.
Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.
SAGE Millimeter, Inc. reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.

Caution:••••Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
The switch is a static sensitive device. Always follow ESD rules when working with the switch.
Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and possible device
damage.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.92 ± 0.05 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter
torque wrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
