Abstract :
This short paper describes the experiments conducted to determine the burnout capability of various types of Ku-band mixer diodes when subjected to narrow RF spikes. This condition results frequently in pulsed microwave systems where the receiver is not adequately protected or where the system´s limiting devices degrade or fail. The maintenance problems resulting from mixer failures are severe and may become more so with increased usage of Schottky barrier diodes.
