Analog Devices Unveils New RF and Microwave Innovations at IMS2013
05 June 2013 - 1:06AM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced three RF and
microwave ICs designed for high-performance transmitters and
receivers used in high-dynamic-range applications, such as wireless
infrastructure, defense systems, industrial, microwave
point-to-point radios and more. The new products offer breakthrough
performance and expand ADI’s portfolio of more than 1,000
high-performance RF ICs covering the entire signal chain, from
antenna to bits and back. Featured in Booth #2411 at the
International Microwave Symposium in Seattle, Wash., June 2-7, the
new devices include:
- Incorporating ADI’s leading
high-performance broadband power detection technology, the ADL6010
microwave power detector offers unprecedented linearity and
stability over temperature. Unlike alternative devices based on
commonly used non-linear and non-temperature-stable Schottky
diodes, the ADL6010 features a simple, proprietary linearization
system that eliminates distortion due to source loading—an
important benefit in applications where a low-ratio coupler is used
to extract a sample of the primary signal. The ADL6010’s
linearization system achieves leading accuracy and improves the
temperature performance to ±0.5 dB over the range of -40°C to
+85°C. The ADL6010 microwave detector is accurate from 500 MHz to
40 GHz, has a 50-ohm input impedance and an input range of -30 dBm
to 15 dBm.
- Designed for high performance digital
pre-distortion (DPD) receivers, the ADRF6620 provides a
full-featured solution in a compact form factor. The device
integrates a 700 MHz to 2.7 GHz wideband synthesizer, an active
mixer, a high-dynamic-range digital VGA, RF DSA, 4:1 RF input
switch, RF balun and LDO. The ADRF6620 offers significant bill of
material savings while maintaining low noise and high linearity
performance. The 4:1 RF input switch makes the ADRF6620 ideal for
DPD receivers in MIMO infrastructure applications. With an OIP3 of
up to 44 dBm from RF input to DGA output, the ADRF6620 is well
suited for high-performance UMTS, LTE-A and MC-GSM DPD
applications.
- Designed for new high-bandwidth
microwave point-to-point receivers, the ADRF6518 is a
high-dynamic-range, low-noise, dual-channel baseband VGA with dual
63 MHz programmable low-pass filters and dual power detectors. The
device offers significant bill of materials savings by replacing
discrete filters and amplifiers and replacing them with a highly
integrated programmable bandwidth and gain device. The ADRF6518
features excellent channel-to-channel match and flexible gain
control and can be used in receivers supporting up to 112-MHz
channel bandwidth, as well as new E-Band receivers with up to 1-GHz
of channel bandwidth. The new VGA is capable of rejecting large
out-of-band interferers while amplifying the desired signal,
reducing the bandwidth and dynamic range requirements of the
ADC.
