This Detector Directional is a broadband microwave power sampler which operates in much the same way as a directional coupler and detector combination.

It is comprised of a resistive bridge and gallium arsenide planar doped barrier detecting element which yield excellent frequency response, superior temperature response and square law response characteristics over a broad band.

With a 10MHz to 26.5GHz frequency range, a single unit can be used in many applications where two directional couplers and detectors were once required such as in broadband power monitoring and source leveling.
