Overview

Description

The F2972 is a single-pole double-throw (SP2T) reflective RF switch featuring high linearity and wide bandwidth. This device is optimized from 5MHz to 1.8GHz to support downstream cable modem future migration for DOCSIS 3.1 applications and operates at up to 10GHz to support a multitude of wireless RF applications. Superb performance is achieved when used in either 50Ω or 75Ω terminating impedance applications.
