SDLVAs detect high-speed pulsed signals

PROCESSING high-speed pulses calls for a detection device with rapid respon se time. The model 8091 successive-detection log-video amplifier (SDLVA) fr om Microphase, Inc. (Norwalk, CT) is such a device, capable of capturing sh ort-pulsed signals from 2 to 6 GHz over an impressive 70-dB dynamic range o f -65 to +5 dBm. The unit is one member of a series of high-performance, mu lti-octave assemblies designed for use in a wide range of applications incl uding instrumentation, telecommunications and electronic-warfare (EW) recei vers (Rxs).
