Description

The HWS452 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC SPDT

switch operating at DC-6 GHz in a low cost

miniature SON6L (2 x 3 mm) plastic lead (Pb) free

package. The HWS452 features low insertion loss

and

high

isolation

with

very

low

DC

power

consumption. This switch can be used in IEEE

802.11a/b/g WLAN PC card and access point

applications as transmit/receive switch, antenna

diversity switch, or band-selection switch.
