AppNote 1: Harmonic generation using a step recovery diode.

Design software application notes

In this example, we use the WAVEFORM software to predict the waveform from a harmonic generator circuit, consisting of a silicon step recovery diode (SRD), followed by an edge coupled microstrip filter. The simplified circuit topology is as shown in the next screen image.
