PIN DIODE SWITCH THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

This kind of circuit is referred to as a resonant switch and it is inherently narrow band. Dependant upon the loaded Q from the parallel resonant circuit, the helpful bandwidth is usually limited to ten% with the centre frequency or less. A capacitor (Cblk ) is added in series on the inductor to forestall shorting in the PIN diode at DC. The worth
