High Power Switches
MPG Switch line of High Power RF & Microwave Switches fit applications where electromechanical switches fail to meet the size, cost and speed of project specifications. At microwave frequencies, a high power switch acts as a current-controlled resistor, allowing current to flow in a single direction. When forward biased, the switch relay behaves as a closed circuit, but when the current is reverse biased, the RF switch becomes an open circuit.

Waveguide
Waveguide Switches are designed to route extremely high power signals over a narrow bandwidth at low to high frequencies, making them highly applicable to space applications. To meet this market demand, MPG's Dow-Key expanded its product line and engineering capabilities in 1993, with the acquisition of the Transco Space Qualified Products, augmenting our own industry heritage in Hi-Rel Space programs with an extended line of Waveguide Switching solutions.
