These Step Recovery diodes generate harmonics by storing a charge as the diode is driven to forward conductance by the positive voltage of the input signal. When the signal reverses polarity, this charge is extracted. The Step Recovery diode will appear as a low impedance currentsource until all the charge is extracted, then it will “snap” to a higher impedance. This causes a voltage pulse to form in the impulse circuit of the multiplier. Step Recovery diodes make excellent high order multipliers such as comb generators. They are also useful as efficient moderate power X2-X4 multipliers. 1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage. 2.
