Is PIN Diode method ideal for RF switching?

Hi,

I was thinking of using PIN Diode technique for RF Switching in the DC to 3GHz frequency range.

Would you recommend on it?

Thanks.

Depending on the application, yes, why not?
Beware of the power limitations.

Oh you're very right.
Thank you.

I'd like to connect a cellular mobile phone to each output port.
The maximum output power of a typical UMTS (3G) mobile can reach 27dBm, which is above the 19dBm '1dB compression point'.

The thing is that the only RF switches I found that have built-in DC block capacitors were PIN diodes.
You have an idea for other RF switches which include DC block capacitors?
