ACTP-1523 Coaxial Tunnel Diode Detector Data Sheet Revision Date: 12/23/2015 The most important thing we build is trust DESCRIPTION: 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 95 to 125. 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.

Storage Temp: -65°C to +150°C Operating Temp: -55°C to +125°C VSWR is measured at or below -20 dBm input power level. Video capacitance is used for RF bypass. This value can be changed if required for video response time. Contact the factory for more information.
