New Miniature Zero-Bias Schottky Diode Detector

It has a low junction capacitance and excellent sensitivity and bandwidth. This makes the detector especially suited for navigation systems, wireless networks and devices, security/alarm systems, radar, and radio controlled transmitters.

The diode detector has a frequency range of 0.01 to 18.5 GHz with a frequency response that runs at ± 0.5 dB. Its VSWR is 1.5:1 with a typical sensitivity of 0.5 mV/µW. The maximum output is 100 mW and the video resistance is 5 kOhm. The diode detector can be operated in an ambient temperature range of -55 °C to +100 °C. It is available in a SMA connector configuration.
