PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...
Designed to replace complicated pin diode-based designs, PE4272 and PE4273 SPDT CATV switches offer an insertion loss of 0.50 dB at 1GHz and P1dB compression point of 32 dBm. The parts draw 8 µA at 3 ...
PIN diodes are widely used as antenna switches and as switches in phase-shifter applications for phased arrays, radar, and broadband instrumentation. Silicon beam lead devices dominate the market. Now ...
