COAXIAL TUNNEL DIODE DETECTORS
Superior performance and high reliability are designed into these detectors.
They offer extremely stable output voltage over wide temperature excursions,
typically +/-0.15dB from -65°C to +100°C at 1GHz and approx. +/-0.3dB at
18GHz. No bias is required for operation. Designs are available, in selected
frequency bands, from 100MHz (or lower) to 18GHz. Typical output impedance
is in the range of 95Ω to 125Ω. This allows for fast pulsed video response and
use in wide bandwidth requirements. Video bandwidths may be modified by
selection of the RF bypass capacitor and load value. Square law typically
ranges from TSS up to -17dBm. The upper limit can be raised as high as -
13dBm with selected load values. The output polarity is usually negative but
can be made positive if requested.

NOTES:
1) Standard output polarity is negative. If positive output is required, substitute “P” for “N” in part number.
2) Diode values can be changed to alter the level of sensitivity. As sensitivity is increased, VSWR will degrade. VSWR will improve as
sensitivity is lowered. Flatness and TSS will also be influenced by these changes. If your applications require something special,
please contact the factory.
3) Tangential Signal Sensitivity (TSS) is a measure of low level sensitivity with respect to noise. It is measured using a video amplifier with
a 2MHz bandwidth and a 3dB noise figure.
4) VSWR measured at or below -20dBm input power level.
5) Video capacitance is used for RF bypass. This value can be changed if required for video response time or other considerations.
Contact the factory if value other than those shown are needed.
