LARGO, FL — Res-net Microwave Inc., a subsidiary of Electro Technik Industries, Inc., is introducing a miniature zero-bias Schottky diode detector to their current line of microwave and RF products.
The Schottky diode is an order of magnitude faster than conventional PN diodes making them ideal for RF and microwave applications. 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.
