When [b.kainka] set out to make the world’s simplest RF detector, he probably didn’t realize it would be as easy as it was. Consisting of only a handful of components and thirty eight lines of code, ...

A crystal radio is basically a high Q resonator tied to an antenna and an envelope detector. These days the envelope detector is a point contact diode such as a 1N34 Germanium diode. The resonant ...

MILPITAS, CA — Linear Technology reports that its LTC5533 dual-channel RF power detector is the first in the industry to reach the 11-GHz range, making it well suited for multi-band WiFi, WiMAX, and ...

Fairview Microwave has released a full line of coaxial-packaged tunnel diode detectors that are available with no Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and same-day shipping. These detectors are intended for ...

Fairview Microwave Inc. recently released a full line of coaxial-packaged tunnel diode detectors that are are well-suited for proof-of-concept and prototype applications. Such application areas ...

From primitive crystal detectors to today's advanced exponential logarithmic amplifiers, RF power detection has come a long way.

It has been proposed that high-frequency detectors based on the so-called spin-torque diode effect in spin transfer oscillators could eventually replace conventional Schottky diodes due to their ...

The traditional diode AM detector is shown in Figure 1. This detector has to operate at zero DC potential, so if the source has a DC component, the R-C combination is needed to block the DC in the ...

PerkinElmer introduces a new Photo Diode Array (PDA) detector to expand the capabilities of their Series 200 HPLC offering – the Series 200EP (Enhanced Performance) PDA. According to PerkinElmer, the ...
