Description
The HWS500 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC SPDT
switch operating at 0.5-6 GHz in a low cost
miniature USON6L (1.5 x 1.5 x 0.4 mm) plastic lead
(Pb) free package. The HWS500 features low
insertion loss and high isolation with very low DC
power consumption. This switch can be used in
WiMAX or IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN PC card and
access point applications as transmit/receive switch,
antenna diversity switch, or band-selection switch.
