Abstract
A description is given of a small and inexpensive germanium pointcontact diode which has been developed for the high-speed switching of a carrier at 35000 Mc/s. The diode can typically modulate several hundred milliwatts of carrier power with a response time less than 3 millimicrosec. A novel modulator is described in which the insertion loss with such a diode is less than 2 dB.
