RF Switches

Dual Switches

Dual RF switches equipped with both waveguide and coaxial interfaces are essential components in aerospace applications, allowing for versatile and efficient routing of RF signals between different types of transmission lines. They ensure seamless signal switching, compatibility, and reliability in complex aerospace communication and radar systems, making them vital for maintaining connectivity and performance in such environments.

Product Specs

Dual Switches

The Dual RF switch offering, providing both waveguide and coaxial interface, comprises WR28, WR42, WR62, WR112, WR137 and WR229 models.  These units are available with all standard domestic, military, and European flange styles and with either N-style or SMA connectors depending on frequency.

All M2 Global RF switches are pressure sealed, tested under water, and are switched 2000 times before shipment. All switches come with manual override capability as standard, with a weather cap option for outdoor use. M2 Global RF switches can be operated in 100% humidity, with the switch motors located inside the aluminum switch head between two seals, so no moisture can penetrate.

Drive voltages are optional, including +/-12V, +/-24V and +/-48 V and should be specified during the quotation phase.

All our switches are Anodize finished, not painted, for better heat reflection and durability and all are RoHS and REACH compliant.
