PLVA-500M18G-50 Active
Detector Log Video Amplifier (DLVA)
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 that employs planar diode detectors and integrated video circuitry for high-speed performance and outstanding reliability. The log slope of this DLVA is 50 mV/dB and has a log linearity error of <±0.5 dB. The logging range is -40 to +5 dBm with a rise time of 20 ns, settling time of 45 ns and a recovery time of 150 ns. The unit is offered in a small, compact housing that measures only 2.2" x 1.5" x 0.4" with SMA female connectors.
