What is a PIN avalanche photodiode (APD)? What is a PIN photodiode? How to characterize avalanche breakdown in GaN. Major differences exist between a PIN photodiode and an avalanche photodiode (APD), ...
PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...
Limiters are necessary in situations in which a transmitter delivers signals of peak power on the order of kilowatts or megawatts to an antenna that also connects to the receiver. Receivers, however, ...
