DD132: Directional Detector for WR430 Waveguide

DD132 is a small-housing directional detector intended for sampling incident or reflected waves in high-power 2450 MHz industrial applications using an WR430 (R22) rectangular waveguide.

The detector delivers well-scaled DC voltage proportional to the power of the wave propagating in one direction in the main waveguide.

Simply reversing the DD132 causes it to sample the wave propagating in the opposite direction.
