Abstract :
A C-band PIN diode switch for a high power T/R module is presented in the paper. The electrical and mechanical design of the PIN diode switch with compensation of the parasitic series inductance of the diodes is described. This compensation allows us to achieve an isolation of more than 40 dB with use of only one pair of PIN diodes
