High Frequency Tunnel Detectors
Exceptional thermal stability and flatness vs. frequency characterize these tunnel detectors from Aeroflex Control Components, Inc. Several models are available which operate over all or a portion of the frequency range of 18 to 40 GHz. The temperature stability is +/- 0.3dB over the range of -65°C to +100°C. The typical output impedance is 115. This allows for extremely fast video response when operating in the square law range, typically -20dBm or lower. The input power rating is +14dBm maximum.
Each detector model contains:
- DC Return
- RF Bypass Capacitor
- Detector Diode
Features:
- Exceptional Temperature Stability
- Low Video Resistance (115 typical)
- Broadband Performance
- No Bias Required
Applications:
- Transmitter Monitoring
- Missile Guidance Systems
- Input to Low-Noise Amplifiers
- Broadband Or Narrowband ECM Receivers
- Power and Signal Monitors
- Doppler Radar and Beacon Receivers
- Matched units available for Multi-channel Receivers, Amplitude Comparator Systems and Discriminators
