64 QAM OFDMA PERFORMANCE
The ADL5570 shows exceptional performance when used with
a higher order modulation scheme, such as a 64 QAM system.
Figure 13, Figure 14, and Figure 15 illuminate the EVM, gain,
and current consumption performance within the context of
a 64 QAM OFDMA system.

POWER-ADDED EFFICIENCY
The efficiency of the ADL5570 is defined on the current that it
draws during the data burst of an 802.16e OFDMA signal. In
typical test setup, the average rms current, I
AVG
, is measured.
However,

OFDMA signal.
I

can be the quiescent current drawn when there is no
data burst and the device remains biased, the sleep current
(1 mA) if the device is defaulted to sleep mode, or the
standby current.
For example, in a 31% duty cycle 802.16e OFDMA signal,
the burst current is calculated by rearranging the previous

EVALUATION BOARD
The evaluation board layout is shown in Figure 16. The ADL5570
performance data was taken on a FR4 board. During board
layout, 50 Ω RF trace impedance must be ensured. The output
matching capacitor, C3, is placed 30 mils from the package edge.

Table 6. Evaluation Board Configuration Options
Component Function Default Value
VPOS, VPOS1, GND Supply and Ground Connections. W1 = Installed
TP1 (STBY)
Transmit/Standby Mode: When STBY is low (0 V), the device operates in transmit
mode. When the radio is receiving data, STBY can be taken high (2.5 V), reducing
the supply current to 10 mA.
Not applicable
TP2 (VREG)
Normal/Sleep Mode: When VREG is low, the device goes into sleep mode,
reducing the supply current to 10 μA. When VREG is high (2.85 V), the device
operates in its normal transmit mode. When high, VREG draws a bias current of
approximately 10 mA.
Not applicable
TP5 (MODE), R1
High/Low Power Mode: Switches between high power mode and low power
mode. When MODE is low (0 V), the device operates in high power mode.
When MODE is high (2.5 V), the device operates in low power mode.
R1 = 50 kΩ (Size 0402)
L3 Input Interface: L3 matches the input to 50 Ω. L3 = 2.7 nH (Size 0402)
C3, C4 Output Interface: C4 provides dc blocking, and C3 matches the output to 50 Ω.
C4 = 39 pF (Size 0402)
C3 = 3.3 pF (Size 0402)
(Tight tolerance recommended)
C2
Filter Interface: A ground-referenced capacitor should be connected to this
node to reduce bias line noise.
C2 = 2.2 pF (Size 0402)
C7 to C12
Power Supply Decoupling: The capacitors, C7 through C12, are used for power
supply decoupling. They should be placed as close as possible to the DUT.
C7 to C10 = 0.01 μF (Size 0402)
C11, C12 = 1 μF (Size 0402)
L1, L2, C6, C5
RF Trap: L1, C6 and L2, C5 form tank circuits and prevent RF from propagating
on the dc supply lines.
L1 = 1 nH (Size 0402)
C6 = 3.6 pF (Size 0402)
L2 = 11 nH (Size 0402)
C5 = Open

MEASUREMENT SETUP USING THE ADL5570
EVALUATION BOARD
When using the ADL5570 evaluation board, the following setup
must be used:
1.
Connect the output of the WiMAX signal generator to the
RF input through a cable.
2.
Connect the RF output SMA of the ADL5570 to the
Spectrum Analyzer (preferably through an attenuator).
3.
Connect the power supply to VPOS. Set voltage to the
desired supply level. Be sure to keep the current limit on
this source to 1 A.
4.
Ensure that Jumper W1 is in place. Alternatively, use a
jumper cable to connect VPOS to VPOS1.
5.
Follow Tabl e 4 for measurement in desired mode.
6.
Turn the RF source on.
7.
Turn all voltage supplies on.
