Hittite Microwave Corp. announces a new 50 Hz to 3.5 GHz, 71 dB true RMS power detector.


Ideally suited for the measurement of complex modulated waveforms with large crest factors, the HMC610LP4(E) is Hittite’s first true RMS power detector.

Delivering best-in-class dynamic range of 71 dB at 900 MHz and 62 dB at 3 GHz, the HMC610LP4(E) improves upon competitor products by > 5 dB while achieving only 1 dB error over temperature. The SiGe BiCMOS HMC610LP4(E) is packaged in a 4 x 4 mm QFN package and is specified for operation over -40° to +85°C.
