Application Measurements
The LT5518 is recommended for base-station applications
using various modulation formats. Figure 13 shows a
typical application. The CAL box in Figure 13 allows for
LO feedthrough and Image suppression calibration. Fig-
ure 14 shows the ACPR performance for W-CDMA using
one or four channel modulation. Figures 15, 16 and 17
illustrate the 1, 2 and 4-channel W-CDMA measurement.
To calculate ACPR, a correction is made for the spectrum
analyzer noise fl oor.
If the output power is high, the ACPR will be limited by the
linearity performance of the part. If the output power is
low, the ACPR will be limited by the noise performance of
the part. In the middle, an optimum ACPR is obtained.
Because of the LT5518’s very high dynamic range, the test
equipment can limit the accuracy of the ACPR measure-
ment. Consult the factory for advice on ACPR measure-
ment, if needed.
The ACPR performance is sensitive to the amplitude match
of the BBIP and BBIM (or BBQP and BBQM) input voltage.
This is because a difference in AC voltage amplitude will
give rise to a difference in amplitude between the even-order
harmonic products generated in the internal V-I converter.
As a result, they will not cancel out entirely. Therefore, it

is important to keep the amplitudes at the BBIP and BBIM
inputs (or BBQP and BBQM) as equal as possible.
When the temperature is changed after calibration, the LO
feedthrough and the Image Rejection performance will
change. This is illustrated in Figure 18. The LO feedthrough
and Image Rejection can also change as function of the
baseband drive level, as is depicted in Figure 19. The RF
output power, IM2 and IM3 vs two-tone baseband drive
level are given in Figure 20.
