RF to DC converter question - 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.

Post subject: RF to DC converter
Unread post Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2005 5:29 pm

I have an HF amp that produces 1KW. I run this thru a bi-directional coupler with -30db forward port. I need to build an ALC circuit to turn my driver down when the amp begins to overdrive. My exciter external ALC circuit expects to see 0Vdc when no turn-down is needed, and up to -4Vdc when the amp reaches distortion. I need a circuit that will take an RF signal in the HF band and develop an adjustable 0 to -4Vdc out. Any ideas or sources.
Thanks very much.

Check out Analog Devices - they have some excellent RF-to-DC converters.

Good luck
