Overview

The WEAKA01PD22G is a power detector capable of detecting signals in the range of 3 dBm to 18 dBm with an accuracy of +/-0.5 dB. It produces a voltage proportional to the received signal power with the maximum output voltage being 1.1 V. It consists of 2 parts, the RF and the Analog processing part. Multiplexing can also be used to support multiple RF inputs with minimal impact on the silicon area using the same analog part. The detector is ideal for detecting the envelope of modulated signals in the frequency range from 10 GHz to 80 GHz.
