Pasternack Debuts Threshold Detectors Covering Microwave and Millimeter Wave Frequencies from 2 to 40 GHz
Irvine, CA - Pasternack, a leading manufacturer and supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, introduces a new line of coaxial
threshold detectors
designed for microwave and millimeter wave applications from 2 to 40 GHz. These threshold detectors are commonly used for analyzing radar
performance, leveling pulsed signal sources, AM noise measurements, system monitoring and pulsed RF measurements in ultra-broadband applications.
Pasternack's latest release of threshold detectors consists of 3 unique models covering broadband frequency bands from 2 to 40 GHz. Designs
incorporate gain stages for higher dynamic range that cover input power levels ranging from -45 dBm to 0 dBm with a typical threshold variation
over frequency of ±0.5 dB. One model supports a fixed threshold while the other 2 models support an adjustable threshold setting. All models
feature a TTL compatible video output response which is '1' when the RF signal is above the threshold setting and '0' when it's below the
threshold setting.
Additional features of the new threshold detectors from Pasternack include rugged construction utilizing compact packages with field replaceable SMA or 2.92mm
connectors. These models are designed to meet MIL-STD-202F environmental conditions for temperature cycle, humidity, shock, vibration and
altitude. The threshold detectors also boast extremely fast response times ranging from 45 to 100 nanoseconds, maximum input power handling
ranging from +10 to +17 dBm, and have an operating temperature range of -55 to +85 degrees Celsius.
"These adjustable threshold detectors have the features and broadband performance that are particularly useful for designers who need
to analyze critical signal response characteristics," explains Tim Galla, Active Components Product Manager at Pasternack. The new threshold
detectors from Pasternack are in-stock and ready to ship now. Pasternack can be contacted at +1-949-261-1920.
