The DLVA-8G10G-75-50-SFF from Quantic PMI (Planar Monolithics) is a Detector Log Video Amplifier (DLVA) that operates from 8 to 10 GHz. It has a dynamic range from -75 to 0 dBm and a tangential signal sensitivity (TSS) of -78 dBm. This DLVA has a log linearity of ±1.8 dB and a log slope of 50 mV/dB. It has a rise time of 30 ns, a fall time of 150 ns, and a recovery time of 500 ns (for 10 μs pulse width). The DLVA requires a DC supply of +15/-15 V and consumes less than 350 mA of current. It is available in a module (with an electroless nickel plate finish) that measures 2.0 x 1.5 x 0.4 inches with SMA-female connectors.
