General Description
7
The HMC-C054 Power Detector is designed for RF
power measurement, and control applications for
frequencies up to 2 GHz. The detector provides a
“true RMS” representation of any RF/IF input signal.
The output is a temperature compensated monotonic,
representation of real signal power, measured with an
input sensing range of 70 dB.
• Transmitter Power Control
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C054 is ideally suited to those wide band-
width, wide dynamic range applications, requir-
ing repeatable measurement of real signal power,
especially where RF/IF wave shape and/or crest factor
change with time.
