Product of the WEEK: Analog Devices AD8302 Gain/Phase Detector to 2.7 GHz Analog Devices Announces Industry's First Single-Chip Gain And Phase Measurement IC For RF/IF Analog Devices Inc. announced the AD8302, the industry's first monolithic chip made to simultaneously detect both the gain and phase difference between two independent wireless signals up to 2.7GHz. The AD8302 represents Analog Devices' latest addition to its growing range of wireless RF/IF ICs for the cellular basestation market. It enables design engineers to build into their products a simple, low-cost diagnostic and calibration circuit to monitor system performance and accurately diagnose signal purity. Because gain and phase are two fundamental properties common to all wireless systems; the AD8302 is also useful for a wide range of applications including instrumentation and test equipment. "This first-of-its-kind solution was made possible through ADI's unique combination of high performance analog integration capability and wireless systems-level applications expertise," said Phillip Halford, RF product manager, Analog Devices. "This unique device provides system-level performance in a single monolithic IC by simultaneously performing independent gain and phase measurements between two RF or IF input signals - a function that, until now, required a discrete multi-chip approach with many external components." The AD8302 measures the precise amplitude difference between the two input signals over 60dB dynamic range, scaled to provide the user with a 30mV/dB output. The phase measurement range extends to 180 degrees and provides the user with a 10mV/degree output scaling. The device integrates two wideband logarithmic amplifiers, a wideband linear multiplier / phase detector, precision 1.8V reference source and analog scaling and interface circuitry, running of a single 2.7 –5.5 volt supply, all within a small form factor package. snip chipcenter.com View Online Webcasts from ADI's SHARC(R)International DSP Conference 2000 *********************************************************** "Strategies For the World's Fastest Growing DSP Supplier", presented by Bob Conrad, Vice President and General Manager of ADI's DSP Division is the first webcast available in our series.
