Linear Technology introduces the LTC5582, a high dynamic range 10GHz RMS detector that sets a new standard in measurement accuracy of RF signals. It offers outstanding +/-0.2dB linearity over a 43dB dynamic range at 2.14GHz, regardless of the high crest-factor modulations used in 3G and 4G broadband wireless networks, including LTE, WiMAX, TD-SCDMA, W-CDMA and CDMA2000. In addition, the LTC5582 can accurately measure signal levels as low as -56dBm to 1dBm to +/-1dB error, providing 57dB dynamic range from 450MHz to 2.7GHz. The device is capable of operating at higher frequencies, providing 46dB of useful dynamic range at 6GHz, and 38dB at 10GHz. Moreover, the device operates efficiently on a single 3.3V supply. Its RF input is designed to operate single-ended, requiring no external balun transformer, thus reducing the solution size and cost.For more product information, visit Linear Technology.
