Abstract
A radio frequency diode detector has a set of diodes having a differential voltage output, and a current source electrically coupled to the ring of diodes, the current source coupled to provide a forward bias current. This is followed by nonlinear signal processing to create an overall linear detector suitable for use in microwave power measurement.
