Keywords: modulation radioastronomical receiver, transistor detector, quadratic detection range

Abstract

Performed development and research works were focused on transistor microwave power detectors with increased dynamic range of its transfer characteristic, owing to negative feedback usage. Optimization of the depth of feedback gave the expansion of the dynamic range up to 49 dB (at 1 dB compression), which is significantly greater than that of known detectors, both industrial and individual pilot projects. Two variants for detectors - as bipolar, so field effect transistors were explored and its comparison is provided. The values of detectors main parameters: tangential sensitivity, transfer coefficient, transfer characteristic compression point, frequency response function, standing wave ratio, temperature coefficient are given. Frequency range of detectors - up to 1.5 GHz. Measured performances of the detectors samples are consistent with the theoretical analysis and circuit simulation in the modern specialized software AWR Microwave Office. The developed transistor detectors are offered for use in radio astronomy modulation type receivers.

microwave power detectors with increased dynamic range of its
transfer characteristic, owing to negative feedback usage.
Optimization of the depth of feedback gave the expansion of the
dynamic range up to 49 dB (at 1 dB compression), which is
significantly greater than that of known detectors, both industrial
and individual pilot projects. Two variants for detectors - as
bipolar, so field effect transistors were explored and its comparison
is provided. The values of detectors main parameters: tangential
sensitivity, transfer coefficient, transfer characteristic
compression point, frequency response function, standing wave ratio,
temperature coefficient are given. Frequency range of detectors - up
to 1.5 GHz. Measured performances of the detectors samples are
consistent with the theoretical analysis and circuit simulation in
the modern specialized software AWR Microwave Office. The developed
transistor detectors are offered for use in radio astronomy
modulation type receivers.
