RF Sensor and Detector Tutorials

This article describes the theory behind RF wattmeter and RF detector modes: a square law detector, a peak voltage detector, and a transitional state. Choice of diodes that can assist in the repair of the element, sensor or slug and use of 30uA meter. Explanation of watt meter scales. Analysis of Bird wattmeter scales and detection.
