CEL’s WLAN Switches Raise Insertion Loss Performance

Wrapped in 6-pin T5N packages measuring 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm x 0.37 mm, the UPG2162T5N and UPG2164T5N double-pole, double-throw switches claim to provide the industry's best insertion performance, specified as 0.6 dB and 0.5 dB at 2.5 GHZ and 0.85 dB and 0.7 dB at 6 GHz, respectively. Operating at frequencies from 2.4 GHz to 6 GHz, the switches are suitable for 802.11a/b/g antenna and ISM band diversity switching. The UPG2162T5N provides a transmit/receive antenna 1/antenna 2 isolation of 30 dB at 2.5 GHz and 27 dB at 6 GHz. For the UPG2164T5N isolation is 25 dB at 2.5 GHZ and 17 dB at 6 GHz.
