Abstract
Abstract A diode is mounted in a hole in a brass block and has one end soldered to the block. The other end of the diode is connected to the center conductor of a stripline. The brass block is in contact with the two ground planes of the stripline. Alternately the diode could be inserted through a hole in one of the ground planes and stripline boards to make contact with the center conductor. A ground contact plate would be affixed to the other side of the diode.
