PIN Diode Switches

Broad Frequency Ranges for standard products 1 to 18 GHz Ultra Fast Switching Times Compact Size Hybrid, Microelectronic Construction Full Military Screening Options

The introduction of high performance PIN diode switches at Rodelco more than 25 years ago has today developed into a broad spectrum of standard microwave control products. These products meet today's exacting requirements for superior performance and quality. These switches are available with many different options to allow a certain degree of customization while maintaining the cost advantages of standard products. This line of switches has been rigidly qualified under the most demanding military environment.
