Nisshinbo Micro Devices has announced the NT9000/NT9001/NT9002/ NT9003 series of dual diode devices designed for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). The new series utilises the company’s proprietary GaAs ...

We are used to microwave receivers requiring complex chipsets and exacting PCB layouts, but as [CHZ-soft] has shown, it does not always have to be that way. With nothing more complex than a germanium ...

This diode is a gallium arsenide microwave mixer diode designed and built at TI about 1964 for KU band operation. It is an example of the earliest available semiconductor microwave devices. With the ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

PIN diodes, which sandwich a lightly doped intrinsic (I) region between heavily doped P and N regions, are used extensively in RF and microwave applications. Common applications of PIN diodes are ...

According to a Tyco Electronics application note, “Silver cadmium oxide contacts have long been used for switching loads that produce a high energy arc. Silver cadmium oxide contacts are less ...

Fairview Microwave Inc. recently released a full line of coaxial-packaged tunnel diode detectors that are are well-suited for proof-of-concept and prototype applications. Such application areas ...

Londonderry, N.H. — MicroMetrics has released a family of non-magnetic PIN diodes in a metal electrode leadless faced (MELF) package. These PIN diodes feature high power handling and low distortion, ...
