PIN DIODE SWITCH THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

Such a circuit is referred to as a resonant switch and is also inherently slender band. Dependant upon the loaded Q with the parallel resonant circuit, the useful bandwidth is often restricted to 10% with the centre frequency or considerably less. A capacitor (Cblk ) is included in sequence to the inductor to avoid shorting of your PIN diode at DC.
