Simple And Affordable RMS Power Meter That Operates From 100 MHz-40 GHz

RMS-responding RF power meters are widely used in test and measurement applications to precisely and accurately measure the RF power of signals with varying crest factors. For a low cost and small size, the LTC5596, a 100 MHz to 40 GHz rms responding integrated circuit with 35 dB or more detection range, can be used to build a handheld broadband power meter, or even in-circuit, embedded power meters.
