Title: Ku-Band Power Detection Post by JDinSLC on Oct 11th, 2007, 1:08pm Hello, I need to design a diode detector that works at 14 to 15 GHz over an 80 dB dynamic range. Has anyone done this before? What's a good device to use? Thanks for any help, JD |

Look for RSSI and log amps. A simple diode wont have the dynamic range you need. Consider a log amplifier which is followed by the AC to DC conversion system. Current hungry device because it needs to run at frequency. |
