Sensor de potencia de RF de ultra-bajo coste basado en diodo Schottky

Abstract

An ultra-low cost and high performance RF and microwave power sensor based on a “zero-bias” low-cost plastic package Schottky diode for research and educational purposes have been developed. A high impedance video output has been added to the detector circuitry in order to make compatible this device with the rest of the circuitry available in a basic RF laboratory. The able to detect RF power in a wide frequency range (0.5-3 GHz) coupled with the ultra-low cost makes this power detector interesting tool to use by users at any level.
