Signal Hound, a manufacturer of accessible, versatile precision test equipment has added the RFS44 to its expanding product line. This powerful, ultra-fast antenna switch is in stock and available to order now. The RFS44 is a single pole four throw (SP4T) absorptive solid-state switch. Using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, the RFS44 provides radio frequency (RF) switching across four ports at up to 44 GHz.
“The RFS44 allows engineers to switch from LF all the way through the Ka band and utilize this versatile tool in pseudo-doppler direction finding applications,” said Justin Crooks, senior engineer. “With ultra-fast switch speed, 3 ns rise/fall times, and direct access from our proprietary Spike software, the RFS44 enables multi-band sweeping and direction finding to the SP145 as well as the SM200 and SM435 product lines.”
