UM9401 / UM9402 / UM9415 COMMERCIAL TWO-WAY RADIO ANTENNA SWITCH DIODES KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION The UM9415 will handle over 1000 W. The extensive characterization of these PIN diodes in antenna switch applications has resulted in guaranteed low distortion specifications under transmit and receive conditions. These diodes also feature low forward bias resistance and high zero bias impedance which are required for low loss, high isolation and wide bandwidth antenna switch performance.

This performance is achievable across a 20 % bandwidth at center frequencies ranging from 10 to 500 MHz. Characteristic curves are shown in the data section which gives both the maximum and typical diode resistance, RS as a function of forward current. The maximum power dissipation rating of the PIN diode depends both on the length of the diode leads and the temperature of the contacts to which the leads are connected. A graph defining the maximum power dissipation at various combinations of overall lead length (L) and lead temperature (TL) is given in the data section. From these curves and the above equation, the power handling capability of the PIN diode may be computed for a specific application. Curves are also presented which show the maximum transmitter power that an antenna switch using UM9401s and UM9415s can safely handle for various forward currents and lead temperatures. These curves are based on a typical design condition of a 1/2 in. total overall lead length, 50 line impedance, and a totally mismatched antenna ( = ). For the case of a perfectly matched antenna, the maximum transmitter power can be increased by a factor of 4.

For low frequency operation, the quarter wave line may be simulated by lumped elements. Typical performance of antenna switches using PIN diodes forward biased at 100 mA is less than 0.2 dB insertion loss and 30 dB isolation during transmit; at zero bias the receive insertion loss Copyright 2005 Rev. 0, 2005-09-15 Microsemi C C Page 7 WWW .
