> 5.3 | Clamp Diodes with External Serial Resistor

> A resistor connected in series to the clamp diodes will reduce the current flowing through the diodes. This way, voltage drops over the diodes can be minimized. The higher the value of the resistor the lower the voltage drop of the diodes, but the higher the voltage drop of the resistor.
> Semiconductors always are a source of RF demodulation. Each semiconductor needs to be RF decoupled using a 10 to 33pF capacitor in parallel.
