Input/Output Return Loss

Notes:

1. Isolation is measured through (3) diodes from common port ( Input ) to selected output port with (1)

opposite port in low loss. Isolation for (2) diodes from common port ( input ) to selected output with (1)

adjacent port in low loss = 22 dB Typical.

2. Typical switching speed is measured from 10% to 90% of the detected RF voltage driven by a ± 5V TTL

compatible driver. Driver output parallel RC network uses a capacitor between 390 pF - 560 pF and a re-

sistor between 150 - 220 Ohms to achieve 20 ns rise and fall times.
