Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters

Thank you Dave for the imput to this post, I'm aware there is some difficulty fot the detectot part on the power head.
I hope if there someone want share is exsperience and like give some sugestion and diagram to help to build one will be apreciate.

Some people have done this. I had something very much like this running in a bench test configuration several years ago. It worked reasonably well, but not well enough to productize, and there were still unresolved problems. The power sensor interface is simple, but not quite as simple as it looks. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA ? |
