The paper considers various types of implementation and performance of the high-frequency single-pole four-way switch based on the data obtained by measuring its main parameters, namely the voltage standing wave ratio and reverse attenuation or decoupling taking into account the design features. The switch design is using the unpackaged pin diodes welded to the printed circuit board with wire or tape and coated with a compound, which is able to significantly increase reliability and service life of the device. The operating frequency range of the four-channel pin-diode switch is 1…30 MHz making it possible to use it to change the operating mode of the high-frequency communication devices.
