A '''step recovery diode (SRD)'''is a semiconductor junction diode having the ability to generate extremely short pulses. It is also | |||
called snap-off diode or charge-storage diode or memory varactor, and has a variety of uses in microwave electronics as pulse generator or | |||
parametric amplifier. | |||
When diodes switch from forward conduction to reverse cut-off, a reverse current flows briefly as stored charge is removed. | |||
It is the abruptness with which this reverse current ceases which characterises the step recovery diode. | |||
