RF and microwave switches are used extensively in microwave test systems for signal routing between instruments and devices under test (DUT). Incorporating a switch into a switch matrix system enables ...

There has been an ongoing conundrum in the RF switch application space. Historically, there have been only two types of RF switches available: electromechanical relay (EMR) and solid state (SS) ...

The single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch has been a necessity since the earliest days of electricity and with good reason: It has many simply described yet vital roles in circuits spanning DC up ...

While exotic semiconductors enjoy most of the glory in the power universe, venerable relay technology continues to evolve and take on tasks that are problematic for their solid-state cousins. Two ...

It’s not uncommon for a radio enthusiast to have multiple antennas for the same radio, so as you might expect it’s also entirely usual to have a bunch of coaxial cables dangling down for fumbling ...

PIN diodes are named for a region of undoped intrinsic semiconductor lying between their p and n-type material. This area eliminates capacitance effects between the n and p-type areas that can ...
