The RF switch is an important element in test & measurement instrumentation for routing signals and for filtering them, utilizing switch manifolds and filters. One unique challenge for switches in the test & measurement market is the requirement to pass relatively high-level signals of greater than +20 dBm at very low frequencies, often down to 9 kHz. It seems that 9 kHz is an unusual frequency until you consider that the frequency limits for IEC/CISPR 11, EN 55011 for conducted and radiated emissions of ISM RF equipment are 9 kHz to 400 GHz, and that prevailing test equipment must be capable of measuring to these limits. Speed, including settling time is also of paramount importance in test and measurement, especially for Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). In ATE systems, SOI switch delays that are 100 times greater than the few tens of ns exhibited by GaAs switches must often be avoided, as these delays can become cumulative throughout an instrument’s signal chain and over the course of long, complex measurement routines. The final challenge for the designer is cost containment, particularly when equipment is designed with a significant number of switches.
