Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel high isolation and low insertion loss broadband PIN diode implemented in a standard 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS process for upper X-band and lower Ku band LEO satellite ...

Irvine, CA. Pasternack has unveiled a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches for transmit and receive signal-routing applications. The PIN diodes can find use in radar systems, EW ...
