Abstract
The thermal characteristics of a PIN-diode waveguide mounting architecture for high-power evanescent mode X-band switches is discussed. The transient thermal heating response is modelled using an extended thermal model which includes both diode and mounting structure. Measured and simulated data are shown for various pulse widths and duty cycles.
