APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BASIC CONNECTIONS
Figure 26 shows the basic connections for operating the ADL5611.
The device supports operation from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. However,
for optimal performance at lower frequency bands, the board con-
figuration must be adjusted. Table 6 lists the recommended board
configuration to operate the device at various frequency bands.
Figure 26. Basic Connections
A 5 V dc bias is supplied to the amplifier through the bias inductor
connected to RFOUT (Pin 3). Decouple the bias voltage using
68 pF, 1.2 nF, and 1 µF power supply decoupling capacitors. The
typical current consumption for the ADL5611 is 94 mA.
At low frequencies, the device exhibits improved performance
with the suggested setup configuration listed in Table 6. Figure 27
and Figure 28 provide a comparison of the performance of the
device at the 30 MHz to 500 MHz band when driven with the
optimal setup configuration and the default setup configuration.

SOLDERING INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED
PCB LAND PATTERN
Figure 29 shows the recommended land pattern for the ADL5611.
To minimize thermal impedance, the exposed pad on the
underside of the SOT-89 package is soldered to a ground plane,
along with Pin 2. If multiple ground layers exist, stitch the layers
together using vias.
Figure 29. Recommended Land Pattern
The land pattern on the ADL5611 evaluation board provides a
measured thermal resistance
JA
) of 52°C/W. To measure θ
JA
,
the temperature at the top of the SOT-89 package is sensed with
an IR temperature gun.
Thermal simulation suggests a junction temperature that is
10°C higher than the top of package temperature. With additional
measurements of the ambient temperature and input/output
power, θ
JA
can be determined.
W-CDMA ACPR PERFORMANCE
Figure 30 shows a plot of the adjacent channel power ratio
(ACPR) vs. P
OUT
for the ADL5611. The signal type used is a
single wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA)
carrier (Test Model 1-64) at 2140 MHz. This signal is generated
by a very low ACPR source. ACPR is measured at the output by
a high dynamic range spectrum analyzer that incorporates an
instrument noise correction function.
Figure 30. ACPR vs. P
OUT
, Single W-CDMA Carrier (Test Model 1-64)
at 2140 MHz
The ADL5611 achieves an ACPR of −79 dBc at an output power
level of −5 dBm, at which point the device noise and not distortion
begins to dominate the power in the adjacent channels. At an
output power level of 5 dBm, ACPR is still very low at −62 dBc.
