Abstract

An experimental investigation was made of the influence of microwave irradiation on the low-frequency current-voltage characteristics of p-n junction diodes. It is shown that when the microwave power increases to a certain level, a clearly defined S-shaped section appears on the current-voltage characteristic of the diode. This section becomes broader as the microwave signal increases further and then disappears when the microwave irradiation ceases.
