Hi,
I'm trying to build a power detector with schottky diode shown on figure 1.

I', really new at this, I heard that because of diode C and L the detector won't work at all frequencies and therefore we must add a matching network.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to understand how this works and how to made a network for the power detector at frequencies from 150 kHz to 1 GHz?
I will appreciate if someone give me a hint or where to start with this problem.
Thanks
