LT5504 800MHz to 2.7GHz RF Measuring Receiver FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ DESCRIPTIO RF Frequency Range: 800MHz to 2.7GHz Ultra Wide Dynamic Range: 75dB at 900MHz Wide Power Supply Range: 2.7V to 5.25V Low Supply Current: 14.7mA at 3V 8-Lead MS0P Package APPLICATIO S ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ RSSI Measurements Receive AGC Transmit Power Control ASK and Envelope Demodulation GSM/TDMA/CDMA/WCDMA The LT®5504 is an 800MHz to 2700MHz monolithic integrated measuring receiver, capable of detecting a wide dynamic range RF signal from –75dBm to +5dBm. The logarithm of the RF signal is precisely converted into a linear DC voltage. The LT5504 consists of RF/IF limiters, an LO buffer amplifier, a limiting mixer, a 3rd-order 450MHz integrated low pass filter, RF/IF detectors and an output interface. The ultrawide dynamic range is achieved by simultaneously measuring the RF signal and a downconverted IF signal obtained using the on-chip mixer and an external local oscillator. The RF- and IF-detected signals are summed to generate an accurate linear DC voltage proportional to the input RF voltage (or power) in dB. The output is buffered with a low output impedance driver. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

BLOCK DIAGRA RF+ RF– 2 3 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The LT5504 consists of the following sections: RF/IF limiters, limiting mixer, RF/IF detectors, LO buffer amplifier, 3rd-order integrated low pass filter (LPF), output interface and bias circuitry. An RF signal ranging from 800MHz to 2.7GHz is detected by the RF and IF detectors using a proprietary technique. The down-converted IF signal is band limited by the onchip LPF, reducing broadband noise, and thus an ultrawide dynamic range signal can be measured. The RF measuring receiver is essentially a logarithmic voltage detector. The measured output voltage is directly proportional to the RF signal voltage. An internal temperature compensation circuit results in a highly temperature-stable output voltage.

A 1:1 input transformer can be used to achieve 50Ω broadband matching with an 82Ω shunt resistor (R1) at the inputs as shown in Figure 5. The 1:1 RF input transformer can also be replaced with a narrow band single-ended-to-differential conversion circuit using three discrete elements as shown in Figure 2. Their nominal values are listed in Table 1. Due to the parasitics of the PCB, these values may require adjustment. 5504f 5 LT5504 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO U 2.5 fRF = 1.9GHz 2.0 WITH SINGLE-ENDED-TODIFFERENTIAL INPUT CIRCUIT VOUT (V) 1.5 1.0 WITH 1:1 INPUT TX 3 1: 63.56Ω –j98.05Ω 900.00MHz 2: 26.69Ω –j42.90Ω 1.90GHz 3: 28.88Ω –j27.76Ω 2.50GHz 2 START: 100MHz Figure 1.

The Output Voltage vs RF Input Power Limiting Mixer and LPF The amplified RF signal is down-converted using the limiting mixer and LO signal. The resulting signal is filtered by the 3rd-order, 450MHz, integrated low pass filter (LPF). Only the desired IF signal is passed to the IF limiters for further detection. Any other mixing products, including LO feedthrough, are much reduced to maximize sensitivity. The receiver’s sensitivity is thus defined by the LPF bandwidth. IF Limiter The IF signal is then amplified through the multiple limiter stages for further signal detection. All DC offsets, including LO signal self-mixing, are eliminated by an internal DC offset cancellation circuit. Nevertheless, care should be taken in component placement and in PCB layout to minimize LO coupling to the RF port. Output Interface The output interface of the LT55O4 is shown in Figure 4. The output currents from the RF and IF detectors are summed and converted into an output voltage, VOUT. The maximum charging current available to the output load is about 400µA. An internal compensation capacitor CC is used to guarantee stable operation for a large capacitive output load. The slew rate is 80V/µs and the small signal output bandwidth is approximately 5MHz when the output is resistively terminated. When the output is loaded with a large capacitor CL, the slew rate is limited 5504f TO RF + LT5504 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO to 400µA/CL. For example, the slew rate is reduced to 4V/ µs when CL = 100pF. VCC 400µA CC VOUT + – OUTPUT CURRENTS FROM RF AND IF DETECTORS 5504 F04 Figure 4.

U Applications The LT5504 can be used as a self-standing signal strengthmeasuring receiver (RSSI) for a wide range of input signals from – 75dBm to +5dBm, for frequencies from 800MHz to 2.7GHz. The LT5504 can be used as a demodulator for AM and ASK modulated signals with data rates up to 5MHz. Depending on specific application needs, the RSSI output can be split into two branches, providing AC coupled data output, and DC coupled, RSSI output for signal strength measurements and AGC.
