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 ...

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 ...

Checkout how high voltage diodes are constructed, diodes detecting ionising radiation, and finally this great series about our new favourite two-terminal device.

A novel PIN diode concept is said to achieve 10 to 50 times better isolation than a typical PIN diode. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years ...

Teledyne e2v HiRel today announced two new additions to its family of high power limiters, the TDLM052402, a quasi-active, 2 kW, L/S/C-band SMT PIN Di ...

In this work, a first GaAs PIN diode for 900 V operation is fabricated and characterized. The temperature-dependent reverse breakdown behavior is investigated with the help of TCAD simulations and ...

This design solution shows how a PIN and Schottky diode limiter can protect sensitive front-ends of communications equipment.
