Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

This PIN diode rf switch is the ideal antenna switch for VHF and UHF and work with the PIN diodes which are special high frequency switching diodes with very low internal capacitance. The internal ...

Abstract: Silicon PiN diodes are the most widely used rectifying technology in industry especially in voltage source converters. The PiN diodes are usually used as anti-parallel diodes across silicon ...

The PIN diode market offers significant opportunities in automotive radar for ADAS, fast-switching diodes for 5G, and high-power solutions for defense. Global 5G expansion and autonomous vehicle ...

Irvine, CA. Pasternack has unveiled a new line of SPDT high-power PIN diode RF switches for transmit and receive signal-routing applications. The PIN diodes can find use in radar systems, EW ...

The trouble with fixing electronics is that most devices are just black boxes — literally. Tear it down, look inside, but it usually doesn’t matter — all you see are black epoxy blobs, taunting you ...

In the field of power electronics, the compound semiconductors gallium nitride and silicon carbide are dominating the market. Due to its beneficial properties, gallium arsenide is gaining more and ...

Abstract: This work investigates the proton irradiation effect on a kV-class vertical GaN-on-GaN PiN diode under 10-MeV and 50-MeV proton irradiation with fluence up to $1\times 10^{{14}}$ cm−2. After ...

A reconfigurable device that can be a p-n diode, a MosFET or a BJT has been made by researchers at SUNY-Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York. “We can form a single device that can perform the ...
