RF Diodes
RF diodes use junction behavior to control, sense or protect RF signals. Their role is normally tied to a circuit function such as switching, limiting, detection, tuning or nonlinear conversion rather than to gain generation.
Typical use
They are used in limiter inputs, RF detectors, attenuator control networks, tunable filters, protection paths, bias-controlled switches and microwave control circuits.
Engineering data
Useful records include junction capacitance, series resistance, reverse voltage, breakdown rating, switching or recovery speed, RF power handling, dynamic range, package parasitics and temperature limits.

How to Select and Verify RF ICs, MMICs and Semiconductor Devices
Turn an RF semiconductor shortlist into an executable design decision by controlling datasheet conditions, reference planes, stability, bias and protection, package and PCB interfaces, thermal limits, fixture removal, production spread and acceptance evidence.
