For imaging of short-T2 samples often very short excitation pulses are desired, which requires high peak RF power. In this work, a transmit-receive switch is presented that can handle 18kW peak RF power and switches its state in less than 1µs. The novel design uses a timed cascade of anti-parallel PIN diode pairs to achieve this performance.
