General Description
The MAX2209 is a wideband (800MHz to 2GHz) RF power detector. It takes an RF signal from the directional coupler at the input, and outputs a DC voltage proportional to the RF peak voltage. The change in output voltage versus temperature is very repeatable from part to part and enables a lookup table based on nominal behavior, minimizing the effective detection error to less than Q0.5dB relative to room temperature.

FEATUREs
♦ -25dBm to 0dBm Power Detection Range
