The PE80T6021 is a coaxial packaged Tunnel Diode Detector that features rugged Germanium (Ge) planar construction and

operates over a broadband frequency range of 6.0 to 12.0 GHz. The zero biased design features extremely low video output

resistance of 125 ohms typical, and an extremely fast pulse response risetime of 5 nsec typical. Additional desirable features

include excellent dynamic range with very efficient low level RF signal detection, wide video bandwidth, and excellent loaded

voltage output sensitivity. The Detector exhibits an extremely stable and flat Positive Output Polarity response across a wide

frequency band and has excellent temperature stability across an operating temperature range of -65°C to +115°C. Maximum

CW input power handling is +17 dBm. The compact cylindrical package features an SMA male RF input connector and an

SMA female Video output connector.
