This low-loss SP4T is part of a family of mmWave SPDT and SP4T switches designed to simplify layout and assembly while improving overall system efficiency in designs for wireless infrastructure, point-to-point communication, test and measurement and satellite communication applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features &amp; Benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UltraCMOS\u00ae SP4T Switch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;PE42546&nbsp;UltraCMOS\u00ae SP4T switch delivers RF performance, reliability and size to meet challenging mmWave system designs from 9 kHz to 52 GHz and is available in a 20-lead<br>3 \u00d7 3 mm LGA package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Superior wideband coverage&nbsp;\u2014 Best-in-class performance with proprietary design technique delivers RF performance up to 52 GHz.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low latency&nbsp;\u2014 Extremely fast switching for rapid transmit and receive data patterns in advanced communication schemes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry-leading power handling and linearity&nbsp;\u2014 Highest input P1dB and IP3 enable high data rate transmission capability in wireless communication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A 5G mmWave SP4T Case Study<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beamforming<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As demand for virtual reality, augmented reality, 5G mmWave and connectivity applications increases, so does the demand for beamforming using phased arrays. The&nbsp;PE42546&nbsp;SP4T offers a wider range of design options and flexibility combined with manufacturability for phased arrays using fixed beamformers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beamforming architecture falls into two major categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adaptive beamformers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed or&nbsp;switched beamformers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adaptive beamformers generally handle multiple users and require &nbsp;independently controlled phase shifters and attenuators such as pSemi\u2019s&nbsp;beamforming front ends. Devising the control circuit for handling multiple users can add to the expense and complexity of a design. In contrast, fixed or switched beamformers employ high-performing RF switches like the&nbsp;PE42546&nbsp;to establish point-to-point communication with limited users. The latter architecture, illustrated below, offers several advantages over the former:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simplified architecture and overall cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced design and system complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faster beam switching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-power transmission support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;PE42546\u2019s superior RF performance, high linearity, low insertion loss, and compact footprint makes it a perfect candidate for applications like fixed or switched beamformers in 5G mmWave applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SP4T Switch Enables Wideband and High-frequency Applications pSemi\u00ae&nbsp;Corporation, a Murata company focused on semiconductor&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1849"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1862,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849\/revisions\/1862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evconnectmag.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
