The Omniyig Tunnel detectors are designed for octave or broad band performance. The Tunnel detectors are available in many models from 0.1 to 26 GHz. These components utilize diodes in metal-ceramic or glass packages.

The units display ± 0.5 dB sensitivity stability over MIL-type temperature ranges. They include internal d.c. return and bypass capacitors. The dynamic range of these detectors covers at least 55 dB from Tss to +5 dBm. The square law range is from Tss to between -18 dBm and -15 dBm where 1 dB compression occurs depending upon diode selective video load. Transition to linear occurs at approximately 0 dBm. The safe power handling capability of these Tunnel detectors is +17 dBm.

Omniyig offers a large selection of octave and broadband detectors from .1 to 18 GHz. These detectors utilize Tunnel, Schottky or Zero Bias Schottky diodes as the detector element. The advantages of each detector type are outlined at left.

All detectors include all circuit elements necessary for operation. These elements are D.C. return, matching network, diode and bypass capacitor. The safe power handling capability of Tunnel detectors is +17 dBm. For Schottky and Zero Bias Schottky detectors +20 dBm is the maximum safe input power.
