The Keysight P9400A solid state PIN diode transfer switch offers outstanding performance in terms of port-to-port isolation, switching speed and low insertion loss over a broad operating frequency range of 100 MHz to 8 GHz. The P9400A is particularly well-suited for ultra-fast RF and microwave switching applications in instrumentation, communications, radar, switch matrices and various other test systems where high isolation, speed and lifetime of a switch are critical.
