100MHz to 40GHz RMS Power Detector Offers 1dB Accuracy & 35dB Dynamic Range
2016-09-28 | ReturnModern 4G and 5G broadband communications systems employ high order, multi-tone OFDM modulation to attain higher desired data rates. Traditionally, microwave Schottky diodes are used as the detector element. They face serious shortcomings when rectifying the RF or microwave signals while measuring only the peak of the waveform, which grossly misrepresents the real power of the signal. In contrast, RMS detectors perform an analog root-mean-square computation of the waveform, then average the result to derive a true power representation of the input signal, regardless of its modulation, number of carriers and varying amplitudes. This capability to measure the true power is critical for equipment manufacturers to set the proper transmit power, ensuring the maximum transmission distance and thus improves TX range while remaining compliant with regulatory power limits.
The LTC5596’s extraordinarily wide bandwidth allows the detector to work seamlessly across multiple frequency bands using a common design with minimum calibration. For example, the LTC5596 works equally well in a sub-10GHz backhaul microwave link as with a 28GHz version. A single design with no recalibration has the potential to provide significant cost savings to equipment manufacturers. Moreover, the LTC5596’s wide frequency range andimproved sensitivity enables use in a wide variety of applications such as radar systems, avionics, wireless infrastructure base stations, satellite communications and test instrumentation.
The LTC5596 operates from a single 3.3V supply, drawing a nominal supply current of 30mA. The detector has built-in improved ESD protection. All pins are capable of withstanding up to 3,500V discharge, human body model. Two temperature grades are available. An I-grade is designed for operation from –40°C to 105°C case. For applications subject to extraordinarily high temperature operating environments such as in high power RF power amplifiers, a high temperature H-grade is offered with rated temperature from –40°C to 125°C case. The H-grade is 100% tested over temperature, and is guaranteed to have tight tolerance on its slope and intercept point, reducing part-to-part variations. Both temperature versions are available in a 2mm x 2mm plastic 8-lead DFN package.
The LTC5596 I-grade is priced starting at $12.50 each in 1,000-piece quantities, while the H-grade starts at $16.95 each. Both versions are now available in production quantities. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTC5596.
