DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit
1528A
is a Mean-Squared Power
Detector featuring the LTC
®
5582 IC.
The LTC5582 is a wide dynamic range Mean Squared
RF Power Detector, operational from 40MHz to 6GHz.
The input dynamic range with ±1dB nonlinearity is
60dB depending on frequency(from –58dBm to
+2dBm, single-ended 50 input). The detector output
voltage slope is normally 30mV/dB, and the typical
output variation over temperature is ±0.5dB at
2140MHz.
The DC1528A Demo Circuit is optimized for wide fre-
quency range of 40MHz to 5.5GHz. However, input
match can be optimized above 6GHz with simple ex-
ternal matching. Operating above 6GHz is possible
with reduced performance. Contact applications for
more information.
Design files for this demo board are available. Call
the LTC factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit

A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTC5582.
Care should be
taken during
V
CC
power up, to ensure the supply voltage
transient does not exceed the absolute maximum.
Refer to
Figure 2
for measurement equipment setup
and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect voltmeter’s negative (-) lead to demo
board GND test point (TP2).
2. Connect voltmeter’s positive (+) lead to the
demo board VOUT test point (TP6).
3. Connect DC power supply’s negative (-) output
to demo board GND test point (TP2).
4. Connect DC power supply’s positive (+) output
(3.15V to 3.5V) to demo board V
CC
test point
(TP1).
5. Connect signal generator’s output to demo
board RFIN port (SMA connector J1) via coaxial
cable. An optional 3dB attenuator may be in-
serted to improve input match, the power range
will be shifted higher by 3dB.
6. Using a jumper cable, connect demo board V
CC
test point (TP1) to EN1 test point (TP3). Now
the detector is enabled (on) and is ready for
measurement.

Apply RF input signal at RFIN and measure the
output DC voltage.

Temperature compensation
R5 and R6 are optional external resistors used for tem-
perature compensation. Short them to ground will dis-
able the compensation circuitry. R6 controls the 1
st
order compensation, and R5 controls the 2
nd
order
temperature compensation. Standard demo board is
optimized for the best temperature performance at
2140MHz.
