Temperature Compensated Directional Power Detector, 2 - 6 GHz

The MACP-010571 belongs to a series of small, easy-to-use, broadband, directional detectors. With integrated low loss directional couplers and built-in temperature compensation circuits, these detectors provide an easy way to monitor the power of a signal travelling in a specific direction along a transmission line. Detectors are housed in a miniature, surface mount, lead less plastic package. They require a small amount of bias for proper performance. The total bias current is less than 0.5 mA. The surface mount package is small yet can be handled and placed with standard pick and place assembly equipment. Detectors are fabricated on a well established GaAs process featuring full passivation for performance and reliability.  Typical applications include power monitoring and leveling in Point-to-Point radios, IMS, Radar, VSAT, EW, and Aerospace & Defense systems.
