It simply means that the DC component of diode output is proportional to the square
of the AC input voltage. So if you reduce RF input voltage by half, you'll get one quarter as much DC output.
Or if you apply ten times as much RF input, you get 100 times as much DC output as you did before. An
increase of 3dB results in twice as much output voltage.All diodes will follow
the square-law rule for small signals. We
should choose one that is fast, so 1N4000-
series power diodes are out. Any diode with a
lot of capacitance is out. Diodes with a sharp
I vs. V curve will give more output, so silicon
diodes are less desirable. Schottky diodes are
great, but they require DC biasing to get into
the really curved part of the I vs.V curve.
With zero bias, a germanium diode has very
decent qualities (apart from nasty
temperature effects). When Hewlett Packard
makes square-law diodes using exotic
semiconductors like gallium arsenide with
molecular-beam-epitaxy machines, the result
looks remarkably similar to a simple pointcontact
germanium diode like a 1N34A.

What is the most sensitive heat detector?
A Bolometer.
How do u use PLL as FM detector?
To use the PLL (Phase Lock Loop) as FM detector, you need to know the Free-running frequency.
What is ROR in smoke detector?
really old rapter
What did James McKenzie invent in 1902?
the lie detector
What is the difference between the modulating signal and the demodulating signal in output of the detector?
Distortion.
What is square law detection?
Square law detection is a method used in communication systems to demodulate analog signals. It relies on multiplying the input signal with itself to obtain the power of the signal, which contains information about the original signal. This method is commonly used in amplitude modulation systems for recovering the original message signal.
How many square meter does the smoke detector cover?
83m^2
What is the purpose of a Whistler radar detector?
The purpose of a Whistler radar detector is to detect the speed of the motorists, if it is being monitored by police or law enforcement by a radar gun.
Is it legal not to own a carbon monoxide gas detector in the US?
I believe that it is law in some states to have a carbon monoxide detector, but regardless of whether or not it is law, it would be extremely wise to invest in a good working carbon monoxide gas detector. It is an odorless gas, and is a silent killer. Do yourself a favour and replace the one that is not working.
Why do they not apply a lie detector test in the court of law?
Lie detector test is one of the due process investigation of the suspect. but this is not the basis of the case if the suspect is guilty of the charges.
Is a lie detector 99.9 percent accurate?
No. They can be fooled which is why they are not admissible as evidence in a court of law (at least in the US)
What Home inspection requirements for doorbell inspection and garage door opener inspection?
Is it the law to have a smoke detector?
Would wife take lie detecter test if she cheated?
Lie detector tests are not 100% accurate and although given by law they are not admissibly in a court of law and using a lie detector is not used for public use; therefore it would not make any point for your wife to take a lie detector test. Hypothetically, if your wife did cheat she would probably decline taking the test.
What law states that the brightness of a star vaies inversely as the square of the distance from the stars?
The law is called The Inverse Square Law .
What stage of the receiver demodulates or removes the carrier waves from the audio waves?
Answer: In some demodulaters like synchronous detector carrier is multiplied. then obtained wave form is passed through low pass filter. here carrier is removed In some demodultors such as square law detector non linear device is used and there after low pass filter is used. At low pass filter carrier is filtered
What is a lie detector used for?
Lie detectors are used in law and legal issues to try to determine if someone is telling the truth or not.
What is the difference between detector and diode detector?
difference between detector and diode
