ACTP-1525

ACTP-1525
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.

Coaxial Tunnel Diode Detector
NOTES:
ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS*:
Maximum input power: +14 dBm (3 dB guardband
for +17 dBm possible burnout)
MIL-E-5400, MIL-STD-202, MIL-E-16400
Sensitivity is measured into an open circuit load
(>10k ohm).
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.
