Keysight Technologies new SP8T FET Solid State Switches available from APC
Keysight launches the latest addition to their range of FET solid state switches, offering speed, performance and reliability at a lower cost per port
The new series or single-pole-eight throw (SP8T) FET solid state switches is in addition to Keysight’s existing U9422/4A/B/C family (SPDT/SP4T).
The SP8T switches provide a broad operating frequency of up to 26.5/50/54 GHz and come with a selection solder terminal, USB (TMC-compliant) or an interconnect port that connect you specifically to your Keysight PXI or USB VNA. They are suitable for mmWave applications like 5GFR2 with your VNA solutions.


U9422A/B/C
FET solid-state switch, 300 kHz to 26.5/50/54 GHz, SPDT


U9424A/B/C
FET solid-state switch, 300 kHz to 26.5/50/54 GHz, SP4T


U9428A/B/C
FET solid-state switch, 300 kHz to 26.5/50/54 GHz, SP8T
With excellent RF performance and very fast switching speed; the FET switch makes it ideal for a test environment where speed and performance requirements exist at the same time. Furthermore, the FET switches generate a low video leakage as low as 50 mVpp preventing degradation or damage to your sensitive components
Key Features
- Broad operating frequency band from 300 kHz up to 26.5/50/54 GHz
- Superior isolation of 90 dB min @ 26.5 GHz, 64 dB min @ 54 GHz (SP4T)
- Low insertion loss and VSWR, very low video leakage
- Maintain fast throughput fast switching speed
- Extend the number of test port for multi-DUT or multiport devices measurement, Eg. 5G FR2
- Reduces overall cost of test and integration complexity, minimising number of lower ports switches use in large-scale switch matrix
- Solder terminal, USB or multiport configuration with PXIe/USB VNA connection for ease of connection
