Abstract
A power detector measures RF power delivered into a first load of uncertain impedance. A reference power meter measures power of a reference signal to a second load of known impedance. The reference power meter measures voltage across the second load; measures a current through the second load; and multiplies the measured voltage by the measured current to generate a reference power signal proportional to power delivered to the second load. A measurement power meter measures power of a signal to the first load. The measurement power meter measures voltage across the first load; measures current through the first load; and multiplies the measured voltage by the measured current to generate a measured power signal proportional to power delivered to the first load. The power detector includes a processor to calculate power delivered to the second load, and to generate a power delivered to the first load.
