At what voltage there is change in linear characteristic output of varactor diode
Answers
In general, electronic circuits can be built with a various electrical and electronic components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, transformers, Thyristors, etc. Let us discuss about the diode which is a two terminal electrical device. The V-I characteristics of the diode are non-linear and it permits the flow of current in only one direction In forward bias mode, the diode allows the flow of current and offers very low resistance. Likewise, in the reverse bias mode, the diode blocks the current flow and offers very high resistance. There are different types of diodes are available in the market based on the working principle and characteristics such as tunnel diodes, Zener diodes, constant current diodes, Varactor diodes, photo diodes, laser diodes, etc. Here, this article discusses about an overview of a varactor diode, that includes working, construction, applications and characteristics.
