RF1292

ANTENNA SWITCH MODULE WITH 6 LINEAR

PATHS IDEAL FOR 3G AND LTE APPLICATIONS

The RF1292 Antenna Switch Module offers very low insertion loss along

with excellent linearity performance. The RF1292 is ideal for multi-mode

GSM, EDGE, UMTS and LTE handset applications. This module integrates

low pass filtering on the GSM transmit paths thus avoiding the need for

external harmonic attenuation. The RF1292 is compatible with +1.8V con-

trol logic and is packaged in a compact 2.5mm x 3.2mm, 18-pin, module

package which allows for a small solution size with no need for external

DC blocking capacitors when no DC is present external to the device.
