The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

If you ever look at construction notes for building old detector type radios the type of headphones specified always have an impedance of 2 × 2000Ω. Nowadays the most commonly available headphones ...

A crystal radio is basically a high Q resonator tied to an antenna and an envelope detector. These days the envelope detector is a point contact diode such as a 1N34 Germanium diode. The resonant ...

The following is excerpted from Chapter 8 from “RF Circuit Design, 2e” by Christopher Bowick. The fundamental operation of an RF front end is fairly straightforward: it detects and processes radio ...

Abstract: Radiofrequency receivers based on energy detection usually require bulky and costly antenna filters. A promising alternative comes from spin-torque diodes that inherently provide both ...

Abstract: Signal detection at (sub-)mm-wave frequencies via a single chip size component is discussed. The monolithic integration consists of high current density InP-based Triple Barrier Resonant ...

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 ...

Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the launch of 1200 Series diode-array and multiple-wavelength detectors featuring improved noise specifications. These liquid chromatography detectors are ...
