Agilent 8473D Planar-Doped Barrier Detector 0.01 to 33.0 GHz Data Sheet This Planar- Doped Barrier (PDB) detector, combines the best characteristics of point- contact and low barrier Schottky to provide performance never before achievable. This new PDB diode technology provides detectors with broadband-flatness, excellent square-law response, and low SWR. These specifications plus the rugged design of the detector make it an excellent value. 8473D Specifications1 Frequency range:2 0.01 to 33.0 GHz Frequency response: ±0.25 dB (0.01 to 14.0 GHz) ±0.4 dB (0.01 to 26.5 GHz) ±1.25 dB (0.01 to 33.0 GHz) (±2.0 dB typical to 40 GHz) SWR: 1.2 (0.01 to 14 GHz) 1.4 (14 to 26.5 GHz) 3.0 (26.5 to 33.0 GHz) (3.0 typical to 40 GHz) Noise (peak to peak with CW power applied to produce 100 mV output, 400 kHz BW): < 50 mV Output polarity (Standard): Negative Option 003: Positive RF connector: APC-3.5 Male (SMA compatible) Output connector: BNC (Female) Environmental capabilities: Operating temperature:3 -65° C to +100° C Temperature cycling: MIL-STD-883. Method 1010.1: (-65° C to +100° C) Low level sensitivity: > 0.4 mV/µW Maximum operating input: 200 mW Typical short-term maximum input (less than 1 minute): 1 watt Notes: 1. Measured at 25° C and -20 dBm unless otherwise specified. 2. Below 1 GHz RF may leak through the video connector. If objectionable, this may be eliminated with a low pass filter. 3. Tested only to 50,000 ft (15,240 m), capable of much higher performance.
