Analog Devices Inc. ADRF5547 RF Front-End Multichip Module

Analog Devices ADRF5547 Dual-Channel RF Front-End Multichip Module is designed for time-division duplexing (TDD) applications that operate from 3.7GHz to 5.3GHz. The ADRF5547 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 1.6dB and a high gain of 33dB at 4.6GHz with an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 31dBm (typical). In low gain mode, one stage of the two-stage LNA is in bypass, providing 18dB 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 0.5dB. 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 (<10-sec) LNA protection operation.
