RMS and Envelope Response to a 20 MHz QPSK-Based LTE Carrier (Test Model E-TM1 1 20MHz) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5511 is an RF envelope and TruPwr rms detector. The ADL5511 can operate from dc to 6 GHz on signals with The envelope output voltage is presented as a voltage that is envelope bandwidths up to 130 MHz. proportional to the envelope of the input signal. The rms The extracted envelope can be used for RF power amplifier output voltage is independent of the peak-to-average ratio (PA) linearization and efficiency enhancements and the rms of the input signal. output can be used for rms power measurement. The high rms The rms output is a linear-in-V/V voltage with a conversion accuracy and fast envelope response are particularly useful for gain of 1.9 V/V rms at 900 MHz. The envelope output has a envelope detection and power measurement of broadband, high conversion gain of 1.46 V/V at 900 MHz and is referenced to peak-to-average signals that are used in CDMA2000, W-CDMA, an internal 1.1 V reference voltage, which is available on the and LTE systems. EREF pin. The ADL5511 operates from 40C to +85C and is available in a 16-lead, 3 mm 3 mm LFCSP package. Rev.
