Multi-Applicatio n PIN Diode
Ebrahim Abiri, Shahamat Kohan · 2010
In this paper, a multi-application PIN diode is presented. The PIN diode structure is simllar to conventional PIN diodes, but only difference is that a layer is used in the middle of layers. The diode has 4 pins. Proportional to the applied voltage to the two control pins, it can be achieved a value arbitrary of series capacitance and resistance. This feature of the PIN diode can be used a good way in the resonators, amplifiers and high frequency multiplier, modulator and demodulators circuits. And also by using these elements rather than complex circuits in telecommunicatio n systems, the circuit size and number of elements are reduced.
