ABSTRACT:
A substantially constant power level is derived over a predetermined frequency band, in each of a plurality of relatively widely spaced power ranges, from a microwave load having a predetermined amplitude versus frequency response, such as an antenna. A microwave source of substantially constant amplitude drives a forward path connected between the source and the load. The forward path includes a voltage controlled, PIN diode, variable microwave attenuator. A feedback path responsive to the microwave power level in the forward path derives a control voltage for the PIN attenuator. The feedback path includes a microwave equalizer attenuator having an amplitude versus frequency response corresponding substantially with the amplitude versus frequency response of the load. The equalizer attenuator drives a linear, crystal amplitude detector. Attenuating means included in the forward and feedback paths are selectively connected in circuit to maintain the power level of the microwave input to the amplitude detector substantially constant, even though different power ranges ae supplied to the load by the forward path.
