Description
Released: August 2013Want to know how efficient your antennas is? This RF detector can be used as part of a system to measure the effiency of an antenna by measuring the forward and reflected power. It is designed to work with a -10 dB coupler and an accurate 50 Ohm terminator.
Can be used on any transmitter up to 5.8GHz. Works best with 100mW (20dBm) to 500mW (27dBm) transmitters. Input power over 500mW should be lowered using 3db/6dB/10dB attentuator(s) between the transmitter and the coupler to get it within the mentioned range, otherwise the rectifier diode will burn out.
The diode is a Avago Technologies HSMS-2860-TR1G single RF detector. SMA male plug.
Based on Mictronics and IBCrazy's design.
