Accurate power measurement is critical to the overall efficiency of an RF circuit. In this article, learn about the broad portfolio of RF power detectors available from Analog Devices.
Analog Devices’ RF power detectors are a broad portfolio of logarithmic amplifiers, TruPwr™ RMS detectors, peak/envelope detectors, and successive detection log video amplifiers (SDLVAs). With detection ranges up to 100 dB, they are used in applications including transmit/receive power measurement, input protection, return loss measurement, RF pulse detection, radar, electronic warfare, and precision RF power measurement.
RMS-responding power detectors are available in two configurations: bi-directional (9kHz to 7GHz) or linear (DC to 6GHz, 100MHz to 40GHz, or 100MHz to 70GHz).
