Abstract
This article presents a voltage-controlled PIN diode attenuator using an accurate PIN diode model that can precisely simulate the attenuation characteristics. After carefully investigating the problems with conventional PIN diode models, an accurate PIN diode model is proposed and verified with experimental data. This model is very effective in the design of a voltage-controlled PIN diode attenuator, and its implementation in commercial simulators is simple and accurate. This model will allow RF and microwave designers to better use PIN diodes in various circuits.
