At low signal levels the RF input
resistance and audio output resistance of a detector diode are equal to 25,700,000*n/Is Ohms (current in nA). 25 million WHAT? Ok One more, with a little help I figured it out. It has to to with the Thermal Voltage of the diode. Vt=KT/q with k=1.38E-23 and q=1.6E-19. T is absolute temperature in degrees Kelvin, k is Boltzmann's constant and q is the charge of an electron. VT is close to 0.025 volts at 20 degrees Celsius. With a slightly increased temperature the .025 is raised to .0257, and .0257 / 1 nanoamp =25,700,000 Thanks, MikeK |
