RF To DC COnverter - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have a VHF & UHF TV Transmitters which produce 500W. I run this through bi-directional coupler. I need a circuit that will take RF signal in VHF & UHF band and produce 0 to10 VDC adjustable. Any ideas or sources.

Thank you very much

Good day. Check out both Analog Devices and Linear Technology. I believe they both make an IC that does RF to DC. They might not have the DC voltage range that you want, but you should be able to scale it.

Good Luck
Michael

I designed a similar circuit using a Analog Device's AD8010. You will need to couple >60db from your signal. You will have to scale the output.

It seems the detector is the easy part of this circuit, what are you going to use for a coupler?

A correction to my previous post, I used an Analog Device part AD8310.
