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 ...

Whatever happened to the old electromechanical antenna relay? In most modern transceivers it has been replaced by the solid-state antenna changeover switch. However, as a ham-radio hobbyist, I still ...

This PIN diode rf switch is the ideal antenna switch for VHF and UHF and work with the PIN diodes which are special high frequency switching diodes with very low internal capacitance. The internal ...

RF switches are designed to route radio frequency (RF) signals between various inputs and outputs. They are very commonly used in RF and microwave test systems for routing signals between instruments ...

Irvine, CA. Pasternack has unveiled a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches for transmit and receive signal-routing applications. The PIN diodes can find use in radar systems, EW ...
