Abstract :
The microwave detection characteristics of photodarlington 2N5780 series and MRD14B have been investigated in X band. The photodarlingtons produced a 10-dB better output than a conventional 1N23C point-contact detector. The mechanism of microwave detection was found to be due to the conventional potential barrier at the p-n junction rather than photovoltaic or conductive effects.
