Are there diodes which can switch at multiple GHz speed? Most of them are limited up to few hundreds of MHz.

I think you're looking for Schottky diodes.

Ultra low capacitance diodes <1pF are capable of operating at GHz frequencies. They are low loss Schottky types. BAS69xxx from STMicro is one example.
