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 ...

PIN diodes are often used as variable attenuators for RF signals in TV tuners, and for wideband RF in fixed equipment. These diodes can be mounted as discrete devices on a board, or integrated into ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

Multiplexing is a very old technology in which control signals are intermixed for the sake of being able to control more devices than there are control signals. For [mihai.cuciuc], the problems ...
