Ultra-compact handheld non-linear junction detector NS-11-024



Ultra-compact handheld non-linear junction detector NS-11-024

The non-linear junction detector (further NLJD) NS-11-024 is used for search and location of electronic devices both in active and switch-off state.

The detector operation is based on the property of semiconductor components to generate a response at the 2d and 3d harmonics when radiated by an RF probing signal. Semiconductor components of artificial origin will have a higher level second harmonic while semiconductor components of natural origin (e.g. oxide films) will have a higher level third harmonic respectively. An NLJD analyzes the 2d and 3d harmonics response of the radiated objects, which enables a quick and reliable identification of electronic devices and natural oxide semiconductors.

The NLJD NS-11-024 automatically finds the best receiving frequency channel free of noise and distortion providing flawless operation even in the complicated electromagnetic environment. The frequency tuning algorithm implemented in NS-11-024 automatically selects the RF probing signal frequency such that the noise level in 2d harmonic receiving channel is held minimal, while digital processing of a demodulated signal gives maximum sensitivity.
