RF through for board calibration The ADG901/ADG902 (SPST) and the ADG918/ADG919 (SPDT) are wideband switches using a CMOS process to provide high isolation and low insertion loss to 1 GHz. Full data on the ADG901/ADG902 and the ADG918/ADG919 is available in their respective data sheets available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

The board is constructed of a four layer, FR4 material with a Figure 3. ADG918/ADG919 Top View dielectric constant of approximately 4.3. The total board thickness is 0.062. Two ground layers with grounded planes provide ground for the RF transmission lines. The transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide with the ground plane model using a trace width of 0.052, clearance to the ground plane of 0.030, dielectric thickness of 0.029 and a metal thickness of 0.0014.
