[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ]

Product Summary

These high-performance planar-doped barrier detectors offer superior performance when compared to earlier detector designs. They feature extremely flat frequency response over their entire band of operation and excellent frequency response stability versus temperature. For applications where broadband frequency coverage is not required, octave band options are available in specific bands, usually with improved frequency response specifications. The HP 8474 detectors are available with a variety of connectors.
