| Zusammenfassung: | A distributed RF/microwave power detector for detecting the power of a signal is provided. The distributed RF/microwave power detector includes a power detector on or at least partially embedded in a single substrate. The distributed RF/microwave power detector includes a detection unit that has a distributed amplifier for amplifying the signal and outputting an amplified signal, and a detector for detecting the power of the amplified signal. The distributed RF/microwave power detector further includes at least one additional detection unit cascaded with the first. The additional detection unit includes an additional distributed amplifier for amplifying the amplified signal and outputting a further amplified signal, as well as an additional detector for detecting a power of the further amplified signal. The distributed RF/microwave power detector also includes a multiplexer for multiplexing outputs of the detector and at least one additional detector, each having a dynamic range different from the other. |
