GENERAL DESCRIPTION
●The AD8362 is a true rms-responding power detector that has a 65 dB measurement range. It is intended for use in a variety of high frequency communication systems and in instrumentation requiring an accurate response to signal power. It is easy to use, requiring only a single supply of 5 V and a few capacitors. It can operate from arbitrarily low frequencies to over 3.8 GHz and can accept inputs that have rms values from 1 mV to at least 1 V rms, with large crest factors, exceeding the requirements for accurate measurement of CDMA signals.
●FEATURES
● Complete fully calibrated measurement/control system
● Accurate rms-to-dc conversion from 50 Hz to 3.8 GHz
● Input dynamic range of >65 dB: −52 dBm to +8 dBm in 50 Ω
● Waveform and modulation independent, such as GSM/CDMA/TDMA
● Linear-in-decibels output, scaled 50 mV/dB
● Law conformance error of 0.5 dB
● All functions temperature and supply stable
● Operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V at 24 mA
● Power-down capability to 1.3 mW
●APPLICATIONS
● Power amplifier linearization/control loops
● Transmitter power controls
● Transmitter signal strength indication (TSSI)
● RF instrumentation
