Applications
The HMC270MS8GETR is widely deployed in wireless transceiver front ends, test-and-measurement equipment, and software-defined radio platforms requiring wideband DC-to-8 GHz antenna switching with low insertion loss. Its 28 dB isolation makes it suitable for time-division duplex (TDD) radios where transmit and receive paths must be isolated during switching transitions. The device also serves in automated test equipment (ATE) signal matrix configurations and multi-band cellular infrastructure where high linearity at 23 dBm is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the HMC270MS8GETR cover, and which wireless standards fall within that band?
The HMC270MS8GETR operates from DC to 8 GHz, covering virtually all major wireless standards including Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), LTE bands up to 3.5 GHz, WiMAX, Bluetooth (2.4 GHz), and C-band satellite communications near 4 GHz to 8 GHz. A single switch IC can therefore route signals for multiple protocols in multi-standard radio platforms.
How does the 28 dB isolation of the HMC270MS8GETR protect a sensitive LNA input from high-power transmit leakage?
With 28 dB minimum isolation between the transmit and receive ports, a 23 dBm transmit signal leaking through the switch appears at the receive port at no more than -5 dBm, which is typically below the 1 dB compression point of most low-noise amplifiers. This prevents LNA saturation and gain compression during transmit bursts in TDD systems operating at 900 MHz to 5.8 GHz bands.
For an automated test system needing to route RF signals up to 8 GHz, how does the HMC270MS8GETR's insertion loss affect measurement accuracy?
The 2.4 dB maximum insertion loss of the HMC270MS8GETR is well-characterized and stable across the DC-to-8 GHz band, allowing test system calibration to subtract the known loss and maintain measurement accuracy to within 0.1 dB after de-embedding. In ATE signal routing matrices with up to 8 switch stages in cascade, total insertion loss reaches approximately 19 dB, which sets the minimum signal level floor for accurate power measurements.
