DC – 7.0GHz
10W SPDT T/R Switch
AM007040TM-CM-R
August 2014
Rev 3
DESCRIPTION
AMCOM’s AM007040TM-CM-R is a broadband SPDT T/R power switch. It has less than 4dB insertion loss and
better than 2:1 VSWR over the 0.05 to 7.0GHz band. This T/R switch can handle up to 15W RF power in the
transmit mode (TX ON) and up to 1W in the Receive mode (RX ON). The AM007040TM-CM-R is in a small
ceramic package suitable for SMT assembly. The AM007040TM-CM-R is RHoS compliant.

TEST FIXTURE
Notes:
1- Use epoxy to mount PCB (P/N D0039-0403)
2- Use Test Block (P/N D0007-2004)
Notes:
12345-
Maximum DC current through CTL1 & CTL2 bias pin is 5mA.
Maximum input RF power is 43dBm
Maximum negative CTL1 & CTL2 voltage is -20V.
Maximum positive CTL1 & CTL2 voltage is +0.5V.
T/R switch needs a good heat sink particularly when more than 2W TF power is
going through the input in “TX ON” mode.
