Fairview Microwave Inc. recently released a full line of coaxial-packaged tunnel diode detectors that are are well-suited for proof-of-concept and prototype applications. Such application areas ...

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry is an important building block in modern wireless communication systems. In a receiver (RX), it is desirable to maintain the same input level for the A/D ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

For a long time, power meters were built using a combination of a base unit and an external power sensor connected via a cable. The RF signal was converted to a voltage signal in the power sensor, ...

Fairview Microwave has released a full line of coaxial-packaged tunnel diode detectors that are available with no Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and same-day shipping. These detectors are intended for ...

ELECTRONICS: Gigahertz-Optik’s ISD-1.6-Si-1 and ISD-1.6-Si-FC-1 radiant power detectors feature a compact 16mm diameter integrating sphere for beam emitter type light sources like laser diode dyes & ...

Dubbed the industry’s smallest and lowest profile silicon RF Schottky diodes in 0201 surface-mount packages, the SMS7621-096 and SMS7630-093 target a wide range of high-volume and cost-sensitive ...
