Building a successful microwave test system requires the use of many different components to control signal flow, signal level, and signal integrity. The design engineer must consider the impact of ...

The resistance of the diode cannot be measured with the normal ohmmeter on a DMM because the voltage used may not be high enough to bias the diode. DMM’s often have a diode testing mode that supplies ...

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 ...

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 ...

A group of researchers developed a highly sensitive rectifying element in the form of a nanowire backward diode, which can covert low-power microwaves into electricity. The new technology is expected ...

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Fujitsu Limited, and the Tokyo Metropolitan University announced that they developed a highly sensitive rectifying element in the form of a nanowire ...
