[Hackrf-dev] Low budget rf power meter?

Hi,

lowest budget power meters with reasonable precision are often built using
logarithmic detectors, so a quick google search for "logarithmic detector
power meter" should give some results.

It may not be easy to find a low cost one covering the frequency range of
the hackrf (1 MHz ~ 6 GHz). But most of them will at least cover 1 MHz to
500 MHz easily.

Try searching for "logarithmic detector" too, it will give more details and
some more design ideas.
