step-recovery diode [′step ri¦kəv·rē ′dī‚ōd]

(electronics)

A varactor in which forward voltage injects carriers across the junction, but before the carriers can combine, voltage reverses and carriers return to their origin in a group; the result is abrupt cessation of reverse current and a harmonic-rich waveform.
