Abstract
Microwave converters using point-contact silicon rectifiers as the nonlinear element are discussed, with particular emphasis on the design of the networks connecting the rectifier to the input and output terminals. Several converters which have been developed during recent years for use at wavelengths between 1 and 30 centimeters are described, and some of the effects of the impedance-versus-frequency characteristics of the networks on the converter performance are discussed.
