Description

The AS196-307 is a GaAs FET IC SPDT non-reflective

switch packaged in a 16 lead leadless exposed pad plastic

package for low cost, high isolation commercial

applications. Ideal building block for base station

applications where synthesizer isolation is critical. Typical

applications include GSM, PCS, WCDMA, 2.4 and

5.8 GHz ISM and wireless local loop.
