Determining the Forward Loss Resistance of a UHF Switching Diode

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Equivalent parameters of UHF switching diodes can be used to estimate the forward loss resistance. The standard method of measuring that resistance with microwaves involves difficulties and high random errors. Simulation and experimental data show that one is not justified in replacing the UHF loss resistance by the direct-current differential resistance. To estimate the microwave loss resistance, one can use the resistance measured by a pulse method.
