A step recovery diode is most graphically described as a charge
controlled switch. A forward bias stores charge, a reverse bias
depletes this charge, and when fully depleted the SRD ceases to
conduct current. The action of turning off, or ceasing to conduct
current, takes place so fast that the diode can be used to create an
impulse.
Step Recovery Diodes are used to make harmonic multipliers and
comb generators. HP CSSD no longer manufactures Step Recovery diodes.
