The Development of High-Power, Low-Frequency PIN Diodes

Abstract

The application of PIN diodes in high-power systems at frequencies as low as 500 kHz requires the use of diodes with intrinsic layers of long carrier lifetimes, operation at low rf-to-bias current ratios, and large reverse bias voltages. The development of suitable diodes, operating conditions, and test results in actual circuits are described.
