Electrical models of electronic devices are used for analysing and calculating electronic circuits. The model of a device depends on a frequency range. A high frequency diode model is shown in Fig. 3.4, where
is a total capacitance of the diode - a barrier and diffusion;
is integrated resistance of a p-n junction;
is defined from the current-voltage characteristic;
is distributed resistance of a base.

The spurious capacitance and inductance of holders are shown by dotted lines.
The low frequency diode model consists of
and
only.
