Ferrite
Switches
COM DEV Europe builds high performance ferrite switches
(S-band to Ka-band) to provide functions such as: receiver protection,
antenna routing and redundancy switching. Key characteristics
include: low insertion loss and small size and mass.

One of the key performance drivers for the operation of Ferrite
Switches is the quality of the driver circuitry. COM DEV EUROPE
have developed various circuits to suit different customer
needs.
Telemetry
interface options include:
RS422
Interfaces
TTL
LVDS
with other circuits designed specifically for relay pulse
operations (positive or negative).
The combination of switch and driver circuit results in a
high performance assembly:
Fast
switching (<2 us)
High
repetition rate (6 kHz)
Minimal
power drain in steady state
