Because the RF signal capacitors to limit the noise bandwidth on the control lines. path is linear, the original modulation is preserved. This part can Both the RF inputs and outputs can be used differentially or be used as a general-purpose RF modulator, a variable attenuator/ single-ended and must be ac-coupled. The RF input and output phase shifter, or a remodulator. The amplitude can be controlled impedances are nominally 50 over the operating frequency from a maximum of 4.5 dB to less than 34.5 dB, and the phase range. The DSOP pin allows the output stage to be disabled can be shifted continuously over the entire 360 range. For max- quickly in order to protect subsequent stages from overdrive. imum gain, the AD8341 delivers an OP1dB of 8.5 dBm, an OIP3 The AD8341 operates off supply voltages from 4.75 V to 5.25 V of 17.5 dBm, and an output noise floor of 150.5 dBm/Hz, while consuming approximately 125 mA. independent of phase. It operates over a frequency range of The AD8341 is fabricated on Analog Devices proprietary, high 1.5 GHz to 2.4 GHz. performance 25 GHz SOI complementary bipolar IC process. It The baseband inputs in Cartesian I and Q format control the is available in a 24-lead, lead-free LFCSP package and operates amplitude and phase modulation imposed on the RF input over a 40C to +85C temperature range.
