Abstract:
1. A temperature compensated diode detector comprising: an input terminal adapted to receive an input signal, and an output terminal for outputting a detected voltage commensurating with said input signal; a detector network comprising: a detector diode, coupled to said input signal for producing a detected voltage; an integrating reactance coupled to said detector diode; a voltage multiplier circuit comprising at least one multiplier diode, said voltage multiplier coupled to said detected voltage for producing multiplied voltage thereof; and, a divider network comprising at least first resistive element and a second resistive element, and a plurality of diodes equaling in number to the number of diodes in said detector network, and coupled to said multiplier so as to divide the multiplied voltage by a pre-determined divider factor; wherein said first resistive element is at least partially integrated within said detector network so as to affect a minimum input impedance to a signal inputted via said input terminal.
