COAXIAL TUNNEL DIODE DETECTORS Superior performance and high reliability are designed into these detectors. They offer extremely stable output voltage over wide temperature excursions, typically +/-0.15dB from -65C to +100C at 1GHz and approx. +/-0.3dB at 18GHz. No bias is required for operation. Designs are available, in selected frequency bands, from 100MHz (or lower) to 18GHz. Typical output impedance is in the range of 95 to 125. This allows for fast pulsed video response and use in wide bandwidth requirements. Video bandwidths may be modified by selection of the RF bypass capacitor and load value. Square law typically ranges from TSS up to -17dBm. The upper limit can be raised as high as 13dBm with selected load values. The output polarity is usually negative but can be made positive if requested.

If positive output is required, substitute "P" for "N" in part number. 2) Diode values can be changed to alter the level of sensitivity. As sensitivity is increased, VSWR will degrade. VSWR will improve as sensitivity is lowered. Flatness and TSS will also be influenced by these changes. If your applications require something special, please contact the factory. 3) Tangential Signal Sensitivity (TSS) is a measure of low level sensitivity with respect to noise. It is measured using a video amplifier with a 2MHz bandwidth and a 3dB noise figure. 4) VSWR measured at or below -20dBm input power level. 5) Video capacitance is used for RF bypass. This value can be changed if required for video response time or other considerations. Contact the factory if value other than those shown are needed. 611 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, NJ 07724 tel: 732-460-0212 fax: 732-460-0214 sales@advanced-control.com www.advanced-control.com ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS: MIL-E-5400, MIL-STD-202, MIL-E-16400 Operating Temp: -65C to +100C Storage Temp: -65C to +100C Humidity: MIL-STD-202F, M103, Cond B Shock: MIL-STD-202F, M213, Cond B Altitude: MIL-STD-202F, M105, Cond B Vibration : MIL-STD-202F, M204, Cond B Thermal Shock: MIL-STD-202F, M107, Cond A Temperature Cycle: MIL-STD-202F, M105C, Cond D Maximum Input Power: +14dBm (This allows for 3dB margin from possible burnout at +17dBm) SMA MALE (INPUT) SCREENING : Standard Screening: Internal Visual per MIL-STD-883, Method 2017 Temperature Cycle: -65C to +100C, 10 cycles Optional High-Rel Screening (Ref MIL-PRF-38534): Internal Visual per MIL-STD-883, Method 2017 Stabilization Bake per MIL-STD-883, Method 1008 Temperature Cycle per MIL-STD-883, Method 1010 Constant Acceleration per MIL-STD-883, Method 2001 Burn-in per MIL-STD-883, Method 1015 Leak Test per MIL-STD-883, Method 1014 External Visual per MIL-STD-883, Method 2009 SMA MALE (INPUT) 1.730.020 1.360.020 SMA MALE (INPUT) 1.320.020 SMA MALE (INPUT) 1.550.020 O0.312 O0.312 O0.312 O0.312 SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) CASE STYLE C1 SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) CASE STYLE C2 CASE STYLE C3 0.42 SMA MALE (INPUT) TYPE-N MALE (INPUT) 2.00 2.800.020 CASE STYLE C8 CASE STYLE C5 SMA MALE (INPUT) SMA FEMALE (INPUT) 1.220.050 O0.312 O0.312 SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) O0.500 O0.625 BNC FEMALE (OUTPUT) 1.160.020 SMA FEMALE (OUTPUT) 0.43 BNC FEMALE (OUTPUT) CASE STYLE C15 Part Number Ordering Information: CASE STYLE C32 CASE STYLE 62 Example: ACTP1555NC312 ACTP1555: Coaxial Tunnel Diode Detector, 2 - 8GHz N: Negative output polarity C3: Package type 12: 12pF custom video capacitance (omit for standard value) TP-0205 611 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, NJ 07724 tel: 732-460-0212 fax: 732-460-0214 sales@advanced-control.com www.advanced-control.com
