Abstract

A new broadband constant law detector has been developed for precision power measurements, radio metric measurements and other applications. It has a wider dynamic range and a more accurate square law response than has been available in the past. Other desirable characteristics are high-level dc output with immunity to ground loop problems, fast response times, ability to insert known time constants, and good thermal stability. This article briefly reviews the history of this development work and describes in detail the new detector and its performance.
