PIN diode switches for RF and microwave applications like phased-array radar introduced by Pasternack

Sept. 27, 2023
The product line includes reflective and absorptive designs, with the latter ensuring low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) performance.

IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand in Irvine, Calif., is introducing 10 different models of military-grade ultra-broadband PIN diode switches for phased-array radar, broadband jamming, wireless infrastructure, and 5G communications.

These switches come in SP2T, SP4T, and SP8T configurations, all featuring integrated TTL drivers and rugged military-grade coaxial-packaged designs.

These cutting-edge RF and microwave switches operate at frequencies from 1 MHz to 75 GHz. This wideband frequency coverage encompasses UHF, VHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, K, Ka, Q, U, and V.

The product line includes reflective and absorptive designs, with the latter ensuring low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) performance. These high-precision switches offer input power handling of as much as 1 Watt continuous wave, and rapid switching speeds as low as 50 nanoseconds.

The PIN diode switches are RoHS compliant and can function reliably in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. Moreover, and resist environmental conditions such as altitude, vibration, humidity, and shock.
