Hi Pete,
The lower limit on the operation of a PIN diode, is not arbitrary, it's
set by the carrier lifetime of the diode. The carrier lifetime has to
be longer than the half cycle time at the frequency of operation,
otherwise the diode stops acting like a PIN, and looks more like a
regular
It is called RF Technology International - primarily online. Got the
citation from the latest ARRL Contest Update.
