Modelithics announces the NLD Library™ (Non-Linear Diode) for Applied Wave Research Microwave Office, with a collection of well-documented models for improved microwave design simulation. The library consists of models for Schottky, varactor and PIN diodes from leading diode manufacturers like Infineon, M/A-COM, Microsemi, ON Semi and Toshiba. Models for other diodes, including step recovery diode (SRD) models, are available through special ordering. Features include substrate scaling and temperature dependence. Substrate scalable diode models are valid over a continuous range of substrate thickness and dielectric constant. Temperature-dependent models include applicability over a wide range of operating temperatures. The models, which now fully integrate with AWR MWO, incorporate bias-dependent factors to describe non-linear I-V and C-V characteristics. They also predict harmonics and reflect variations with RF power, validated using gain compression and harmonic measurements.
