The HMC1030LP5E is a dual-channel RMS power detector designed for high accuracy RF power signal measurement and control applications over the 0.1 to 3.9 GHz frequency range. The device can be used with input signals having RMS values from -60 dBm to +10 dBm referenced to 50 Ohm and large crest factors with no accuracy degradation.

Each RMS detection channel is fully specified for operation up to 3.9 GHz, over a wide dynamic range of 70 dB. The HMC1030LP5E operates from a single +5V supply and provides two linear-in-dB detection outputs at the RMSA and RMSB pins with scaled slopes of 37 mV/dB. The RMSA and RMSB channel outputs provide RMS detection performance in terms of dynamic range, logarithmic linearity and temperature stability similar to Hittite’s HMC1021LP4E RMS Detector. The RMSA and RMSB outputs provide a read of average input signal power, or true-RMS power. Frequency detection up to 3.9 GHz is possible, with excellent channel matching of less than 1 dB, over a wide range of input frequencies and with low temperature drift.
