[0003] (1) Control problems of different types of microwave switches: Due to the high bandwidth and high speed characteristics of microwave switches, the pulse width output by traditional control devices is at the TTL level (transistor-transistor) on the order of seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds. Logic level) pulses are obviously unable to control the on-off of high-speed microwave switches. At the same time, based on different types of microwave switches, the switching time is different. The on-off of microwave switches is related to the voltage amplitude, pulse width, and pulse Interval matters
