A traveling wave video detector utilizing microwave integrated circuit techniques provides increased dynamic range, increased rf bandwidth up to 100 Ghz and improved impedance matching at high input power levels. The video detector comprises an artificial transmission line wherein the shunt elements are spaced semiconductor detector diodes which lie in a substantially common plane. In the microwave integrated circuit (MIC) embodiment, the diodes are interconnected by arc shaped wire inductance elements which also lie in a substantially common plane. The particular planar arrangement and location of elements in the present invention provides the desired dynamic range, impedance matching and rf bandwidth.
