Selecting Electromechanical and Solid-State RF Switches (.PDF Download)

July 29, 2016

Switches provide control in RF/microwave systems, turning power on and off and channeling signals from one branch of a circuit or system to another. They come in many shapes and sizes, and are based on a number of technologies, changing contacts by electromechanical functions or by the electronic behavior of semiconductors like PIN diodes and field-effect transistors (FETs)...
