The RSTM Series delivers high reliability and
consistent performance. This series is designed to
switch two signals, alternatively, to two outputs.
Featuring: low insertion loss, minimal VSWR
and high isolation.
Product Description:
Micronetics RSTM family of broadband, DC-18 GHz transfer
switches are break before make configuration and are designed to
switch two signals, alternatively, to two outputs. The character-
istics of the switch features are that they offer extremely low
insertion loss, minimal VSWR, and very high isolation. The
RSTM family of switches are available with the following operating
modes:
Ü Failsafe
Ü Failsafe with TTL logic
Ü Latching
Ü Latching with TTL logic
Ü Indicators
