RF Detectors

RF detectors are electronic devices that are used to detect the presence of a radio frequency (RF) signal. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as radio and television broadcasting, wireless communication, radar, and satellite systems. RF detectors typically consist of a sensing element, such as a diode, that converts the RF signal into a current or voltage that can be measured and processed by other electronic components. The specific design and operating characteristics of an RF detector depend on the intended application and operating frequency range. Some RF detectors are designed to respond to a specific frequency or range of frequencies, while others are more broadband and can detect a wider range of frequencies.
