24、. Be mindful that the cable caries a small DC voltage proportional to the amplitude of the RF signal, and that impedances rise extremely high when measuring microvolt or nanowatt levels, making the cable susceptible to leakage and interference. - - - | | | | - | | | | Signal(+) | | | | | | | | | | |

This is called square-law region operation and here the DC output voltage is proportional to the square root of the peak AC input voltage. Ordinary PN junction silicon diodes and

27、 ordinary Schottky hot carrier diodes have an extremely high video resistance when biased to mere microvolt levels, making it difficult to separate a meaningful DC output signal from the noise. Such diodes typically also have way too much junction capacitance and this loads down the signal source at

28、 megahertz or higher frequencies. Therefore you must use one of the special types of hot carrier diodes Interesting Electronic Schematics and Circuits - Novotillhttp:/members.shaw.ca/novotill/RfProbeSensorMvUw/index.htm 3 of 45/6/2009 8:21 AM RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 listed below, many of which are a

These have a reverse breakdown voltage of only around 3

32、Boonton power sensor. HSCH-9161 3) Low Barrier Silicon Schottky Detector Diode: These have a reverse breakdown voltage of 7V so you will need to use them if you intend to measure at the upper end of the 3V range on your boonton millivoltmeter.
