will this rf power detecting circuit will work in 400 Mhz to 900 Mhz frequency band ?

here is the circuit

what do you want to detect (1 mV, 100 mV, 2 V, etc)? Whether you will measure something depends on what you use as antenna and the strength of the field.

BAT85 is not the best Schottky diode for a simple UHF detector. Try to find a schottky diode with less capacitance. A very nice detector diode is BAT62 as it has a good breakdown voltage and low capacitance.

I would reduce C1 to 1... 10 nF and use a DVM with high input resistance (> 1 MOhm).
