LTC5583 Matched Dual-Channel 6GHz RMS Power Detector FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Frequency Range: 40MHz to 6GHz The LTC®5583 is a dual-channel RMS power detector, n Linear Dynamic Range: Up to 60dB capable of measuring two AC signals with wide dynamic n ±0.5dB (Typ) Accuracy Over Temperature range, from –59dBm to 4dBm, depending on frequency. n 40dB Channel-to-Channel Isolation at 2GHz Even Each AC signal’s power in decibel-scaled value is precisely with Single-Ended RF Inputs converted to a DC voltage on a linear scale, independent n Matched Dual-Channel Outputs: <1.25dB (Typ) of the crest factor of the input signal waveforms. The n Single-Ended RF Inputs—No Transformer Required LTC5583 is suitable for precision power measurement and n Accurate RMS Power Measurement of High Crest level control for a variety of RF standards, including LTE, Factor Modulated Waveforms EDGE, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX. n Difference Output Provides VSWR Measurement Good channel-to-channel isolation is necessary for oper- n Fast Envelope Detector Outputs ating the dual channels simultaneously. For applications n Fast Response Time: 140ns Rise Time where the two input signals are at the same frequency (e.g. n Small 4mm × 4mm QFN24 Package measuring VSWR), the LTC5583 provides 40dB isolation at 2.14GHz even with single-ended inputs. No baluns are APPLICATIONS needed. When the two input signals are at different frequen- cies, the isolation can be as high as 50dB. The isolation n VSWR Monitor can be improved to >55dB with differential inputs. n MIMO Transmit Power Control n Basestation PA Control The power difference of the two input signals is provided n Transmit and Receive Gain Control at a difference output pin. Each channel also has a fast n RF Instrumentation envelope detector, which tracks the RF input signal’s en- velope and outputs a voltage directly proportional to the L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
