The MASW-011098 leverages MACOM's patented AlGaAs technology process to ensure superior mmW switch performance, maintaining low insertion loss and high isolation while enabling higher power-per-element ratios for 5G demonstration systems. Low insertion loss reduces the power requirement from the power amplifier (PA), alleviating thermal challenges and extending the link range while simultaneously enabling improved receiver sensitivity. The MASW-011098 also provides flexible biasing options to ensure greater overall ease of use.
"MACOM's established expertise in high-bandwidth wireless infrastructure
and millimeterwave technology is helping customers around the world
accelerate the evolution to 5G," said
