Abstract :
A new step recovery diode (SRD) model for CAD is developed by considering the voltage ramp in the SRD and using a DC measurement to extract a model parameter. This model can be directly used in commercial circuit simulators for designs of SRD circuits. Examples of using this model to analyse a comb generator and a frequency multiplier are given.<>
