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.
Diodes: A Diode is an electronic device that allows current to flow in one direction only. It is a a semiconductor that consists of a p-n junction. They are used most commonly to convert AC to DC, because they pass the positive part of the wave, and block the negative part of the AC signal, or, if they are reversed, they pass only the negative part and not the positive part.
