Default Electronic inductor bandswitching using ADF4360-8 VCO / PLL

One of the comments -- from Michael Terrel -- was that
he's worked on equipment that shorted out inductors at various taps to change
ranges.

I can understand using a MOSFET to short an inductor at various taps,
however
I don't see how to do that using a PIN diode unless DC blocking
capacitors are
being used between the inductor sections.
