The signal inputs are single-ended, allowing them to be matched The AD8302 is a fully integrated system for measuring gain/loss and connected directly to a directional coupler. Their input and phase in numerous receive, transmit, and instrumentation impedance is nominally 3 kΩ at low frequencies. applications. It requires few external components and a single The AD8302 includes a phase detector of the multiplier type, supply of 2.7 V–5.5 V. The ac-coupled input signals can range but with precise phase balance driven by the fully limited signals from –60 dBm to 0 dBm in a 50 Ω system, from low frequencies appearing at the outputs of the two logarithmic amplifiers. up to 2.7 GHz. The outputs provide an accurate measurement Thus, the phase accuracy measurement is independent of signal of either gain or loss over a ± 30 dB range scaled to 30 mV/dB, level over a wide range. and of phase over a 0°–180° range scaled to 10 mV/degree. Both subsystems have an output bandwidth of 30 MHz, which The phase and gain output voltages are simultaneously available may optionally be reduced by the addition of external filter at loadable ground referenced outputs over the standard output capacitors. The AD8302 can be used in controller mode to range of 0 V to 1.8 V. The output drivers can source or sink up force the gain and phase of a signal chain toward predetermined to 8 mA.
