RMS Power Detector

January 17, 2011
The model HMC610LP4(E) is a 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 specified for operation over -40° to +85°C.
