In the example that follows, there is a shunt resistance of 150 ohms in parallel with the illustrated PIN diode. The characteristic V-I curve for that diode is estimated from the general diode V-I ...

Replacing the two RF switches and the PIN diodes seemed to fix the problem, ... Both are incredible examples of what can be built with just enough tools to fit on a workbench, ...

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. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 ...

For this investigation, a bulk PIN diode (Avago HSMP-386Z, w = 22.5 m, τ= 300 ns, and f c = 0.3 MHz) was compared with an Epi PIN diode (Avago HSMP-389Z, w = 6.5 m, τ = 180 ns, and f c = 0.8 MHz).

A PIN diode stores extra charge in the intrinsic region, which makes it stay conductive longer in the reverse direction. When the shutoff time is longer than the period of a high-frequency signal, ...

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 ...
