Question

a diode can be used as:

Answer 1

Answer:

A diode is a specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode and the cathode. ... Diodes can be used as rectifiers, signal limiters, voltage regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal mixers, signal demodulators, and oscillators.

Also It's possible to make a parametric amplifier from an ordinary diode because of the capacitance change with voltage. That involves a pump oscillator at a higher frequency than the signal you want to amplify. It has been used for very high frequencies and more moderate ones (eg. Philbrick P2 amplifier).
