Abstract: Photodiodes detect the separation of charge carriers in a semiconductor upon irradiation with photons. Recently, new high sensitivity low noise photodetector-integrator based on a PIN diode ...

Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, a multi-application PIN diode is presented. The PIN diode structure is similar to conventional PIN diodes, but only difference is that a layer is used in the middle of layers.

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 ...

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 ...
