**
All specifications apply with 50 ohm impedance connected to all RF por ts
with 0 and -5 VDC control voltages.
Faster switching speed can be achieved with enhaned driver waveform.
For the SW-227 and SW-228 only, when an RF output is ‘OFF’ it is
shorted to case ground.
Bottom of Case is AC Ground.
Dimensions in ( ) are in mm.
