However, current source drive may not be the best approach. Instead, the addition of a parallel shunt resistor across the PIN diode may offer some diode control benefit. In the example that follows, ...

Checkout how high voltage diodes are constructed, diodes detecting ionising radiation, and finally this great series about our new favourite two-terminal device.

For example, consider a PIN diode. Few people are aware that the key property of a PIN diode is indeed its slowness; without it, it would generate large amounts of distortion and require a larger ...

A novel PIN diode concept is said to achieve 10 to 50 times better isolation than a typical PIN diode.

A comparison of Bulk and Epitaxial PIN diodes in low cost wideband RF switching Introduction Both electromechanical and semiconductor switches are proven technologies used in the control and routing ...

PASTERNACK line of E and W-band single-pole single-throw (SPST) and double-pole double-throw (DPDT) PIN diode waveguide switches are reflective designs that operate over an ultra-broadband frequency ...

A novel PIN diode concept is said to achieve 10 to 50 times better isolation than a typical PIN diode. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years ...
