Thermal design of microwave PIN diodes
Abstract
Design of microwave PIN diodes suitable for phased array antennas is considered from the point of view of specific power handling capability. Analysis of the thermal parameters of the diode by previous authors is briefly reviewed. Outline of a complete design procedure is given from the point of view of thermal management and microwave performance. Computed values of design parameters are given.
