Agilent 8473D
Planar-Doped Barrier Detector
0.01 to 33.0 GHz
Data Sheet
This Planar- Doped Barrier (PDB) detector, combines
the best characteristics of point- contact and low bar-
rier Schottky to provide performance never before
achievable. This new PDB diode technology provides
detectors with broadband-flatness, excellent
square-law response, and low SWR.
These specifications plus the rugged design of the
detector make it an excellent value.
