Title: IRE Paper on HV Solid State Rectifiers Post by: Steve - K4HX on December 23, 2010, 07:52:41 PM Thanks to John, K5PRO, you can now read Design Criteria: Transmitter High Voltage Solid State Rectifiers, from the IRE Transactions on Broadcasting, Vol BC-7, 1961 at the link below (scroll to the bottom of the list).

I began reading the paper and wondered how old it was. 1961?? Probably most modern diodes (like 1N1508) that I use have overcome many of the concerns outlined in this paper. But, when I have more time I'm sure it may be worth reading through. the real Fred PS, Can I have your old call so everyone can call me The Huz Man?? Just a thought.

There is information that describes why avalanche diodes don't need RC networks, and when to use these. Also on how to select the C and R. Its one of the more descriptive reports on the subject; some still wonder when to bypass rectifiers, when to use matched diodes, etc. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
