ABSTRACT:
A high efficiency diode detector for detecting low amplitude signal levels. A junction diode is biased by a stable current source to operate in a substantially square law region of the diode. A signal source having an impedance much less than the diode forward resistance in the square law region is connected to drive the diode. Signal levels in the 18 MV rms range are detected at efficiencies approaching 20%.
