Environmental
See Appendix for MIL-STD-883 screening option.
All specifications apply with 50 ohm impedance connected to all RF ports
with 0 and -5 Vdc control voltages.
† Faster switching speed can be achieved with enhanced driver waveform.
** When an RF output is ‘off’ it is shorted to ground through an ‘on’
shunt MESFET.
