mmWave log detector spans 1 to 23 GHz

The 54-dB HMC948LP3E millimeterwave logarithmic detector can operate over a wide frequency range, spanning 1 to 23 GHz. The part suits broadband test and measurement, point-to-point microwave radio, VSAT, receiver signal strength indication, and wideband power-monitoring applications.

The part provides a nominal logarithmic slope of 14.2 mV/dB and an intercept of –111 dBm at 23 GHz. Logarithmic error over temperature is ±1.5 dB at 23 GHz over the entire –40° to 85°C operating temperature range. It exhibits very fast rise and fall times of 5 and 7 ns, respectively. Housed in an ROHS-compliant 3 x 3-mm SMT package, the part operates from a single 3.3-V supply and consumes only 91 mA. (Contact company for pricing and availability.)
