The ADL5501 is a mean-responding power detector for use in high frequency receiver and transmitter signal chains from 50 MHz to 6 GHz. It is easy to apply, requiring only a single supply between 2.7 V and 5.5 V and a power supply decoupling capacitor. The input is internally ac-coupled and has a nominal input impedance of 50 ?. The output is a linear-responding dc voltage with a conversion gain of 6.3 V/V rms at 900 MHz.The ADL5501 is intended for true power measurement of simple and complex waveforms. The device is particularly useful for measuring high crest factor (high peak-to-rms ratio) signals, such as CDMA-, CDMA2000-, W-CDMA-, and QPSK-/QAM-based OFDM waveforms. The on-chip modulation filter provides adequate averaging for most waveforms.The on-chip, 100 ? series resistance at the output, combined with an external shunt capacitor, creates a low-pass filter response that reduces the residual ripple in the dc output voltage. For more complex waveforms, an external capacitor at the FLTR pin can be used for supplementary signal demodulation.The ADL5501 offers excellent temperature stability across a 30 dB range and near 0 dB measurement error across temperature over the top portion of the dynamic range. In addition to its temperature stability, the ADL5501 offers low process variations that further reduce calibration complexity.The ADL5501 operates from ?40?C to +85?C and is available in a small 6-lead SC-70 package. It is fabricated on a proprietary high fT silicon bipolar process.ApplicationsMeasurement of CDMA-, CDMA2000-, W-CDMA-, and QPSK-/ QAM-based OFDM, and other complex modulationwaveforms RF transmitter or receiver power measurement

The ADL5545 is a single-ended RF/IF gain block amplifier that provides broadband operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The ADL5545 provides over 36 dBm of OIP3 using only 56 mA from a 5 V supply.The ADL5545 provides a gain of 24 dB, which is stable over frequency, temperature, power supply, and from device to device. The amplifier is offered in the industry-standard SOT-89 package and is internally matched to 50 ? at the input and output, making the ADL5545 very easy to implement in a wide variety of applications. The only external components required are the input/output ac coupling capacitors, power supply decoupling capacitors, and dc bias inductor.The ADL5545 is fabricated on an InGaP HBT process and has a high ESD rating of ?1.5 kV (Class 1C). The ADL5545 is also fully specified for operation across the wide temperature range of ?40?C to +105?C. A fully populated RoHS-compliant evaluation board is available.
