Analog Devices Inc. ADRF5545A RF Front-End Multichip Module
Analog Devices Inc. ADRF5545A Dual-Channel RF Front-End Multichip Module is designed for time-division duplexing (TDD) applications that operate from 2.4GHz to 4.2GHz. The ADRF5545A is configured in dual channels with a cascading two-stage low noise amplifier (LNA) and a high-power silicon single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch.
In high gain mode, the cascaded two-stage LNA and switch offer a low noise figure (NF) of 1.45dB and a high gain of 32dB at 3.6GHz with an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 32dBm (typical). In low gain mode, one stage of the two-stage LNA is in bypass, providing 16dB of gain at a lower current of 36mA. In power-down mode, the LNAs are turned off and the device draws 12mA.
In transmit operation, when RF inputs are connected to a termination pin (TERM-ChA or TERM-ChB), the switch provides a low insertion loss of 0.65dB. The device handles long-term evolution (LTE) average power [9dB peak to average ratio (PAR)] of 40dBm for full lifetime operation and 43dBm for single event (<10s) LNA protection operation
