Abstract
A monolithic array of silicon diodes has been utilized to fabricate a 35 GHz single throw waveguide switch with over 400 W peak and 20 W average power capability. The switch provides 23 dB isolation, 60 nanosecond switching speed, under 1 dB insertion loss and 1.6:1 VSWR over the 26.5 to 40 GHz waveguide bandwidth. A double throw version handles 40 W average power and has a 25% bandwidth.
