As an engineer, it's crucial to have access to the right tools to measure the RF power of a system accurately. Fortunately, there are various technologies at your disposal, such as thermal RF power ...

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, ...

Abstract: The results of theoretical and experimental researches on optimizing the RF diode power detector parameters to achieve the maximum dynamic range of quadratic detection of two-tone microwave ...

Because of their fundamental rectifying characteristic, diodes have been used to generate dc voltages that are proportional to ac and RF signal levels for as long as there have been diodes. This ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: The tunnel-diode video detector to be discussed is shown in Fig. 1; it consists of a diode mount and a ferrite isolator. The isolator is necessary because the tunnel diode is biased into its ...
