[NLRS] 10 GHz relay

[Arliss]

I also meant to mention that I have a 4th relay, a DynaTech 
Microwave switch, D3-413B002, rated for DC-18 GHz, and about the 
same physical size as the other 3 I mentioned.  Again, I wasn't 
able to find much info on the web.

Will I need a waveguide switch to handle 8 watts?

Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm looking for information on what relay I can use to switch the 
output of my 10 GHz amp.  We're talking 8 watts out.  I have a 
Transco 82152-919C74700 and a MaCom MA7530-S134 -- both with SMA 
connectors.  Perhaps I just missed it, but Googling the part 
numbers gave me some hits, but not information such as power 
handling ability and isolation.  I'm wondering if anyone out 
there can offer some guidance.

Also, I have an HP coaxial switch: 8765B OPT 015 100, rated from 
DC-20 GHz.  It says maximum power is 2W, which I assume is at 20 
GHz.  The rating at 12 GHz is probably higher, but I'm guessing 
substantially less than 8 watts.  Does anyone know better?

Thanks & 73,
