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 ...

PIN diodes are widely used as antenna switches and as switches in phase-shifter applications for phased arrays, radar, and broadband instrumentation. Silicon beam lead devices dominate the market. Now ...

Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

In the field of power electronics, the compound semiconductors gallium nitride and silicon carbide are dominating the market. Due to its beneficial properties, gallium arsenide is gaining more and ...

The LX3055 is a coplanar waveguide photodiode intended for high bandwidth single-mode fiber optic network applications. Fabricated as an InGaAS/InP PIN photodiode, it can serve in 1310 nm and 1550 nm ...
