PIN Diode Control Products
Practical information about selecting the proper PIN diode-based product for a specific application is extremely hard to find. Narda's new PIN Diode Control Products Application Note was created to fill this void. It includes basic discussions of PIN diode characteristics, the most commonly used PIN-diode based products and the trade-offs encountered in designing products around them. The merits of various types of control products within a specific category (analog and digital attenuators, for example) are discussed as well.
