Abstract
The impedance of crystal diodes is known to depend on the applied bias voltage. This has suggested the use of diodes as switching elements in the control of microwave signal transmission. In the simplest form, the diode switch consists of a transmission line which is shunted by a diode. Coaxial cables as well as waveguides have been used for the transmission lines that are shunted by point-contact and p-i-n diodes. Slab line or coaxial switches where a diode is inserted in series with the center conductor of the line have also been developed.
