RF Detectors

Pasternack provides a range of RF detectors, which are active coaxial components designed to convert RF signal strength into proportional DC voltage, commonly known as "video out." There are three main types of RF detectors available: zero bias Schottky diode detectors, bias Schottky diode detectors, and log detectors. These detectors are primarily used for monitoring and measuring signal strength from an RF source. Many of Pasternack's RF detectors are compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations.

The RF detectors from Pasternack are equipped with SMA connectors, while the 75 Ohm variants feature BNC connectors. The frequency capabilities of these detectors vary depending on the type and style, ranging from 100 KHz to 26.5 GHz. The maximum input power rating of the RF detectors falls between 10 dBm and 23 dBm, and they have an RF signal threshold (tangential sensitivity) ranging from -54 dBm to -20 dBm. Additionally, Pasternack offers two variations of RF detectors with positive or negative output bias.
