Attenuators Designed with Honeywell's patented SOI CMOS technology, the attenuators feature low insertion loss and high performance. They offer the unique combination benefits of low DC power consumption found in CMOS with the attenuation accuracy and GHz frequency range of a GaAs product. We offer attenuators in both serial and parallel architectures in small, space saving 4 x 4 mm QFN packages. Differentiating features of the Honeywell attenuators include low insertion loss, fast settling time after switching states, accurate attenuation of radio frequency (RF) signal amplitude with serial or parallel digital control.

Switches Honeywell's family of RF switches offer the highest performance in wireless base stations and broadband communication applications. Our four models of switches are manufactured with Honeywell's patented SOI (Silicon-On Insulator) CMOS technology to provide first in class isolation levels.
In addition to providing low power consumption in an ultra small package, our family of switches offer integrated CMOS control logic with built-in ESD protection. Attributes of Honeywell switches ideally suit a wide range of wireless applications, including cellular, PCS (Personal Communications Service), GSM (Global System for Communications) base stations and 2.4 GHz WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks). Differentiating features of the Honeywell switches include low insertion loss, high channel-to-channel isolation and fast switching time (<20ns).
Each model provides unique attributes to address the flexibility, performance levels and cost you're looking for. For example, our SW1020 RF switch pair boasts an isolation level of >50 dB @ 1 GHz to meet high performance requirements. For applications requiring integrated decoders and ultra low DC power, our SW1030/31 RF switches are designed to operate with a "completely off" state. All our switches are compatible with either 50 and 75 Ohm systems.
