DD01-92
Description
The DD01-92 directional detector is an integrated
directional coupler, Schottky diode combination designed
for handset power monitor applications specified from
800 MHz to 2 GHz. It is packaged in the small footprint,
SC-88 (6 lead SC-70) package. The DD01-92
incorporates a directional coupler and two GaAs Schottky
diodes on a monolithic GaAs chip. By applying forward
DC bias to both Schottky diodes, the DD01-92
may be conveniently temperature compensated. The
DD01-92 is characterized from 650 MHz to 2.5 GHz and
generates a detected signal at 1.8 GHz of approximately
200 mV at 10 mW input power. Each Schottky diode is
forward biased to approximately 5 µA by applying 1 V
through 100 kΩ resistors as shown in the test circuit.
