Popis: | This contribution presents the non-linear characterization up to 50 GHz of a PIN diode commonly used as switch for reconfigurable devices at microwave applications. Non-linear models are extracted by means of X-parameter measurements supported on accurate calibration and de-embedding procedures. Results are validated by S-parameter measurements in the low power signal regime and by harmonic measurements in the large signal regime. The use of these models for reconfigurable antennas assessment is discussed.
