1 The issue or topic may be set forth as a topical question, a hypothetical incident, a student experience, an actual case, etc. 2  Select panelists who are well informed about and have specific points of view regarding the issue or topic. 3  A panel discussion that includes three to five panelists is usually most workable.
A: Typically, they are constructed with PIN diodes. A PIN diode is simply a p-n junction diode that is designed to. have a very small junction capacitance (0.01 to 0.1 pf). A Sort of the opposite of the varactor diode! To see why this is important, recall diode small signal analysis. from your first electronics course.
A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a pân junction connected to two electrical terminals.A vacuum tube diode has two electrodes, a plate (anode) and a heated cathode. Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices.he most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking current in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). Thus, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version of a check valve.
