Abstract :
This paper presents a novel approach for RF power measurements using a silicon MOSFET. It describes linear and nonlinear models of the RF MOSFET for results prediction. It shows a thorough comparison between predicted and measured results. The detector demonstrates a better sensitivity than biased Schottky diode detectors that we have measured.
