Walter Crofut Remembered
It's with deep sadness and respect we at Narda Microwave mourn the passing of our friend and colleague, Walter Crofut. Walter joined the company in 1981 and spearheaded Narda's new product development and marketing efforts throughout his career. His education at Princeton and Brown, combined with his soaring intellect and drive for perfection made him highly respected, both within the company, and throughout the industry. All this, combined with a soft-spoken, congenial personality made Walter a valued co-worker and friend to all.
Our sincerest condolences to Walter's family. All who knew him, both professionally and personally, will sorely miss him.

Narda Announces New Booklet For Selecting the Best PIN Diode Control Product for an Application
PIN diodes are essential tools in the designer’s handbook. There are many resources that provide information about PIN diode characteristics and integration. However, practical information about selecting the proper PIN diode-based product for a specific application is extremely hard to fine. Narda’s new PIN Diode Control Products Application Note was created to fill this void. It includes basic discussions of PIN diode characteristics, the most commonly used PIN-diode based products, and the trade-offs encountered in designing products around them. The merits of various types of control products within a specific category (analog and digital attenuators, for example) are discussed as well.
