AM detector considerations
•
The AM detector consists of an Agilent 33330C Low-Barrier Schottky Diode
Detector and an AM detector filter (Agilent 70429A K21).
•
The detector, for example, is an 33330C Low-Barrier Schottky-Diode
Detector. The Schottky detectors will handle more power than the point
contact detectors, and are equally as sensitive and quiet.
•
The AM detector output blocking capacitor in the 70429A Option K21,
N5500A Option 001, or N5507A prevents the DC voltage component of the
demodulated signal from saturating the system’s low noise amplifier (LNA).
The value of this capacitor sets the lower frequency limit of the
demodulated output.
•
Carrier feedthrough in the detector may be excessive for frequencies below
a few hundred megahertz. The LNA is protected from saturation by the
internal filters used to absorb phase detector feedthrough and unwanted
mixer products.
shows carrier frequencies with corresponding
offset frequencies.
•
The AC load on the detector is 50
Ω
, set by the input impedance of the LNA
in the test system. The 50 ohm load increases the detector bandwidth up to
than 100 MHz.
