When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

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 ...

Switches, digital and analog attenuators, and limiters each have unique functions that require proper device selection. The design difficulty lies within the parametric translation from diode ...
