I understand that PIN diodes can switch amps of RF with just mA of DC bias.
I don't quite see how that works....won't the Amp strength of the RF signal switch on the PIN diode? How can DC mA make a significant difference then?
Or is it like Magnetic saturation where with an AC signal (balanced) a small DC component can push an inductor to saturation?
