Agilent's HSMS-286x family of DC biased detector diodes have been designed and optimized for use from 915 MHz to 5.8 GHz. They are ideal for RF/ID and RF Tag applications as well as large signal detection, modulation, RF to DC conversion or voltage doubling. Available in various package configurations, this family of detector diodes provides low cost solutions to a wide variety of design problems.
The HSMS-286x family are DC‑biased Schottky detector diodes optimized for operation from 915 MHz to 5.8 GHz. They are intended for RF/ID, RFID tags, large‑signal detection, modulation, RF‑to‑DC conversion and voltage‑doubling applications. The diodes are offered in several compact surface‑mount packages (SOT‑23, SOT‑143, SOT‑323, SOT‑363) with low‑cost, high‑match options.
The document provides detailed electrical specifications, absolute maximum ratings, equivalent circuit models, SPICE parameters, and example detector and voltage‑doubler circuits for 915 MHz, 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Package dimensions, tape orientation and handling precautions are also included.
