            ADL6012 Broadband Envelope Detector
                    Analog Devices' ADL6012 broadband envelope detector operates from 2 GHz to 67 GHz
    

ADI's ADL6012 is a versatile broadband envelope detector that operates from 2 GHz to 67 GHz. The combination of a wide 500 MHz envelope bandwidth and a fast 0.6 ns rise time makes the device suitable for a wide range of applications, including wideband envelope tracking, transmitter local oscillator (LO) leakage corrections, and high-resolution pulse (radar) detection.

Features

Schottky power detector up to 67 GHz, no other Schottky detector is currently available operating above 44 GHz; alternatives have a much larger solution footprint, are not wideband, and offer lower performance
Fast response: 0.6 ns/1.1 ns rise/fall time. Suitable for fast pulse detection and wideband envelope detection
±1 dB flat frequency response up to 43 GHz; enables accurate measurement of very broadband signals and minimizes the need for calibration

Applications

Aerospace and defense: military radios and SatCom equipment, short-range radar receivers
Instrumentation and measurement: ATE, BER testers, oscilloscopes, signal generators
