Fairview Microwave’s new high-power RF and microwave PIN diode switches utilize GaN semiconductor technology. In the manufacturing process, GaN and chip & wire technology ensures state-of-the-art power performance with excellent power-to-volume ratio, making these ideal for broadband high power applications.

Because these are PIN diode designs, they also offer fast switching speed as low as < 50 nsec. They offer excellent thermal properties and a significantly higher breakdown voltage that results in tolerating higher input power levels over broadband and narrowband RF and microwave frequencies. All models in this new product line meet a series of environmental conditions for altitude, vibration, humidity and shock, and are EAR99-compliant.

Additional features include broad frequency band coverage ranging from DC to 18 GHz with reflective SPDT and SP4T PIN diode designs. These PIN diode switches also boast compact coaxial packages, cold switching performance up to 100 watts CW RF input power, and TTL compatible driver circuitry for accurate logic control.
