DPDT RF Switches - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have searched the RF world but can't find any DPDT Switches for Differential RF Application from 1MHz to 3 GHz. Any recommendations?

Greetings picasso:

What kinds of power levels are you looking for? If not too high, try researching front-end modules for wireless applications from somebody like muRata. Some of them still use double-ended I/O.

Any other specs you can provide would help people understand your need better.

Hello Kirt,
Specifications are as follows,

Freq : 1 MHz to 3 GHz
Power Level : 10dBm
Switch : DPDT RFIC ( not Diversity Switch )
I need to switch differential RF Signals on my board. I am able to find plenty of SPDT IC, but have not yet come across DPDT IC.
Macom has DPDT available in die form which is not much useful. I could use two SPDT but I was hoping that a single DPDT IC will be better able to match impedance on my board.
