Annotation: The article describes pin-diode-based GaAs MMICs design results. MMICs are designed for using in frequency range (4–27) GHz, first of all in microwave measuring equipment. Measured characteristics show that produced MMICs can control a RF signal without adding significant insertion losses and reflections from device's input.
