pyrex.custom.irex.antenna.EnvelopeVpol.tunnel_diode

EnvelopeVpol.tunnel_diode(signal)

Calculate a signal as processed by the tunnel diode.

The given signal is convolved with the tunnel diode response as in AraSim.

Parameters

signalSignal

Signal to be processed by the tunnel diode.

Returns

Signal

Signal output of the tunnel diode for the input signal.

Raises

ValueError

If the input signal doesn’t have a value_type of voltage.

Notes

The tunnel diode response is based on the response parameterized in AraSim, as developed by ANITA [1].
