RF log detector with differential DC coupled path and wide dynamic range Key benefits - Wide dynamic range: Output voltage follows the logarithm of the input amplitude, expanding the dynamic range to 92 dB for accurate measurement across a broad signal level span. - Wideband RF power detection: Detects RF power from 1 MHz to 600 MHz and converts it to a DC output, enabling straightforward monitoring and control in RF systems. - Versatile input range: Sensitive enough to detect signals from -74 dBm up to +18 dBm within the specified frequency band. - Clean signal path: Fully differential DC coupled signal path minimizes offset and noise, improving measurement integrity. - Temperature stability: Maintains high stability across the full operating temperature range for reliable performance in varying environments. Technical highlights - Detection bandwidth: 1 MHz to 600 MHz - Power detection range: -74 dBm to 18 dBm - Output: DC voltage proportional to the logarithm of input amplitude - Signal path: fully differential DC-coupled - Temperature performance: high stability over the full temperature range Use scenarios - Laboratory RF power measurement: Monitor transmitter output across 1 MHz to 600 MHz and convert to a stable DC signal for data logging or automated test equipment control. - Wireless module development and testing: Assess and monitor RF signal power levels during design and validation, with a DC output suitable for ADCs and control loops. - Field diagnostics and environmental testing: Deploy in environments with wide temperature variation to continuously monitor RF power and provide reliable DC signals for monitoring systems.
