Performance analysis of ultra-wideband RF switch using discrete pin diode in SC-79 package for medical application of microwave imaging

Microwave imaging is an emerging technology in the medical application which have similar functions as X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Computed Tomography scan (CT scan). In designing a microwave imaging system for medical application, it can use a monostatic radar approach by transmitt...
