Not a single switch can best fit all applications. Selecting the correct switch technology (in terms of RF performance, reliability, switching time, power handling, etc.) to accessorize and/or complement your system setup requires an investment of time and resources. The relative advantages and disadvantages of different types of switches determine their use for specific applications. Although among switches of the same basic type there is a variety of switching speeds, frequency ranges, functions, capabilities, operating life and power handling available. In this section, the various types of microwave switches that are generally available will be briefly explained, a common indication of their performance capabilities will be presented, and basic information that will assist you in selecting the most appropriate switch type for a given application.
