This module is designed to connect to a radio transceiver that has separate radio input and output. Thanks to the use of two switches, the module allows connect two antennas. The individual switches are controlled by a simple digital input signal. With RFSWITCH01, a transceiver can work with support of [MIMO 2x2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO). The module is typically assembled for frequencies of 433MHz and 868MHz. - +![Top view on RFSWITCH01A](/doc/img/RFSWITCH01A_top_big.png) -![Top view on RFSWITCH01A](/doc/img/RFSWITCH01A_top_big.png) +## Key Features and Specifications + +- Contains two PE4259 RF switches from Peregrine Semiconductor +- Operating voltage: 1.8V to 3.3V +- Maximum operating frequency: 3GHz +- Low insertion loss (0.35 dB @ 1 Ghz, 0.5 dB @ 2 GHz) +- Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C +- Four MCX connectors for connection with the radio and two antennas +- Includes a SAW filter and LNA amplifier at the transceiver input + +## Applications + +The RFSWITCH01 module can be used in a variety of applications where MIMO 2x2 support is required for a radio transceiver.
