The MRFIC Line
Broadband GaAs Switch
The MRFIC0903 is an integrated GaAs SPDT switch designed for
transceivers operating in the 100 MHz to 2.0 GHz frequency range. The design
utilizes Motorola’s advanced GaAs RF process to yield superior performance in
a cost effective monolithic device. Applications for the MRFIC0903 include
Class 4 and 5 GSM, Class 1 and 2 DCS1800, DCS1900, DAMPS, PDC, digital
cellular systems as well as analog cellular systems.
