RF switches

Highest RF design flexibility and performance with cost-efficient RF switches for IoT and 5G applications

anchor

Overview

Radio Frequency (RF) signal switching is fundamental in wireless communication systems. RF switches are microelectronic components that can transmit, receive, and route RF signals between various input and output ports within a circuit. Thus, they support systems to efficiently operate multiple radios on single-antenna designs and reduce complexity of multi-antenna systems.

Key Features

  • Wideband applicable
  • 5G ready
  • Low insertion loss
  • Bidirectional and open reflective
  • Low current consumption

About

High-power RF switch capabilities of up to +39 dBm

Infineon provides a broad range of RF switch configurations and performance capabilities in terms of insertion loss (IL), isolation (ISO), switching speed, and power handling at reduced supply voltages. 

Infineon high-power RF switches offer power handling capabilities of up to +39 dBm and ultra-high-linearity performance. Infineon’s best-selling components in this category include BGS12P2L6 high-power SPDT RF switch with a GPIO-control interface and BGS14M8U9 high-power SP4T switch with a MIPI-control interface.

Unlock the design flexibility and performance with RF switches

Many communication devices require a higher bandwidth and an additional receiver channel called the “diversity path” to meet faster download rates. To select the correct receive band, an option is to use a diversity switch with low IL and excellent RF performance. See diversity path RF switches BGS18MA12, BGS16MA12, and BGS14MA11. In addition, Infineon also offers fast switching devices such as SPDT RF Switch BGS12WN6, SP3T BGS13SN8, and SP4T BGS14WMA9. 

Compact and robust RF switch ICs ideal for surface mount on PCBs

Infineon CMOS RF switches are suitable for antenna switching and frequency band selection to optimize the RF system size, cost, and performance. They are offered in very compact and robust packages, making them a perfect choice for surface mount on PCBs. Infineon’s product portfolio ensures highest RF design flexibility in smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearables, drones, access points (routers, customer premises equipment), and smart home appliances.
