pin diode help required

can any body tell me about the insertion loss in series connected reverse bias pin diode means that the diode is connected in series position but operating in reverse bias condition. in this mode what will be the insertion loss. any diagram or graph which tells about frequency and insertion loss will help.

thanxs

Reverse biased pin diode looks like a small series capacitor in parallel with a big resistor, for example 0.2 pf in parallel with a 1 K resistor. Insertion loss will depend on what frequency because of the capacitor.

@Biff the frequency range is in b/w 0.3 GHz to 3 GHz. can u give me any graph so that i can match this graph to mine results.

Check fig. 7
