Steve asked:
". Has the shunt diode idea been tried in practice? Did it
work above 10MHz? If yes, please let me know which brand and part # was
used."
In the late 50's, I think it was W6JAT, who worked for Eimac that published
a circuit of a shunt diode across the input circuit of a 3-1000 amp, using a
6X4. The diode did not have a series R, although it would have an internal
impedance. Circuit was claimed to work fine. I always had a big question
mark about it.
I have tested solid state diodes and never had success. It may have been my
"loose" testing setup. Time to do more testing.
