Using TCAD simulation software, a numerical physical model of the PIN limiter is first established. Then, based on the numerical physical model of the PIN diode, a simulation circuit for the HPM effect of the PIN limiter is built. Device parameters and HPM parameters are set according to the required features of the sample set, and transient response simulation is performed to obtain the labels corresponding to the features of the sample set. A deep learning network prediction model is constructed and trained and validated to obtain a model that meets the requirements. This model is then used to predict the performance and HPM effect of the PIN limiter under different parameters and operating conditions. This invention solves the problems of large computational load, long time consumption, and non-convergence in existing traditional methods for obtaining the limiting performance and HPM effect of PIN limiters, reducing the human and time costs of obtaining limiter performance and improving prediction efficiency and accuracy.
