Monte Carlo simulation results for a 45° phase shift
Pin diode assemblies are used at the PARCS radar site in high-power phase-shifters. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers analyzed the original diode assemblies and obsolete PIN diodes and designed a new assembly with a new commercially available PIN diode.
Statistical analysis was conducted to prove that the new diode met the original specifications, and Monte-Carlo circuit analysis was conducted to ensure that the new hybrid assembly would meet the system specifications.
