Power detector with constant voltage decoupling

摘要

A power detector for measuring the average power, without constant voltage, of modulated or unmodulated high frequency or microwave signals is described. The power detector includes a signal line connected to a high frequency input. A detection line is capacitively and/or inductively coupled to the signal line and, seen in the longitudinal direction, is connected to the signal line. The signal is tapped from the detection line at two or more detection positions which are staggered in the longitudinal direction.
