Abstract
A 3-dB degradation in noise figure usually constitutes the "failure" criteria for microwave diode burnout measurements. Schottky-barrier and point-contact diodes, while satisfying this requirement, were found to deteriorate in 1/f and reverse breakdown voltage at lower power levels. Schottky-barrier diodes with large reverse breakdown voltage exhibited high burnout resistance.
