Abstract :
A phase detector consisting of Schottky diode peak detector taps distributed along an integrated GaAs transmission line has been fabricated. Pulses counterpropagate on the line, forward biasing taps in the region of pulse overlap. The relative phase gain, determined from the captured overlap function, is 20 mV/ps.
