HP 83036C Broadband Directional Detector, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz

Product Summary

The HP 83036C is a broadband microwave power sampler which operates in much the same way as a directional coupler and detector combination. The HP 83036C is comprised of a resistive bridge and gallium arsenide planar-doped barrier detecting element which yield excellent frequency response, superior temperature response and square law response characteristics over a broad band. With a 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz frequency range, a single HP 83036C can be used in many applications where two directional couplers and detectors were once required -- such as in broadband power monitoring and source leveling. The HP 83036C has a maximum SWR of 1.7 above 50 MHz on both the input and output ports. Directivity of 14 dB matches that of most miniature couplers currently available. The maximum insertion loss is 2.2 dB. The HP 83036C has been used with great success as the sampling element for external leveling of broadband swept frequency sources. The extended frequency range increases the usable band from the common 1.7 to 26 GHz to 100 MHz to 26 GHz, giving the user the full use of his broadband source with external leveling. Other uses include the internal leveling element for sources, and forward and reverse power monitoring.
