PLVA-500M18G-50 Active

Detector Log Video Amplifier (DLVA)

Product Feature

Quantic PMI Model PLVA-500M18G-50 is a 50 dB Detector Log Video Amplifier designed to operate over the 0.5 to 18 GHz frequency range. This model employs planar diode detectors and integrated video circuitry for high-speed performance and outstanding reliability. It is of superior construction using state-of-the-art MIC technology. The log slope of this DLVA is 50 mV/dB and has a log linearity error of less than ±0.5 dB. The logging range is -40 to +5 dBm with a maximum rise time of 20 ns, maximum settling time of 45nsec and a recovery time of 150 ns typically. The unit is offered in a small, compact housing that measures only 2.2" x 1.5" x 0.4"
