I do a lot of pin diode design, and realy miss a nonlinear model in Genesys.
I know there has been done some work on this for Spice.
Take a look at papers from Robert H. Caverly and Michael Quinn Villanova University.
" A Spice model for simulating the impedance-frequency characteristics of high frequency Pin Switching Diodes" , and " Spice modeling of Microwave and RF control Diodes"

It's easy enough to add a spice model to Genesys. If you have a spice model for the pin diode then you're done. If you'd rather, you can use our new AMK (Advanced Modeling Kit) to write the code for a pin diode in Verilog-A. We provide diode code as a sample, so this should be pretty easy if you have GENESYS Enterprise and the AMK.
