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 ...

Microsemi's new MPS2R10-606 switch provides frequency coverage from 100 megahertz (MHz) to 1 gigahertz (GHz) with 0.2 decibel (dB) insertion loss, 15 dB return loss and 55 dB of isolation at mid-band.

PIN diodes are named for a region of undoped intrinsic semiconductor lying between their p and n-type material. This area eliminates capacitance effects between the n and p-type areas that can ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...
