DC2870A, Demo Board Using LTC5596 Linduino Shield 100MHz to 40GHz RMS Power Detector

Descripción

• DC2870A, Demonstration Circuit is a Linduino shield for Mean-Squared Power Detector LTC5596. It is set up for quick evaluation of RMS RF power measurement using the Arduino/Linduino compatible platform. When connected to PC with USB cable, accurate power level can be monitored using the graphic user interface. The LTC5596 is a wide dynamic range linear-in-dB Mean Squared RF Power Detector, operational from 100MHz to 40GHz. The Linduino (DC2026C) platform provides 10-bit ADC at 4.9mV/LSB resolution with 5V default reference voltage. Input dynamic range with 1dB accuracy is up to 35dB depending on frequency. The detector output slope is normally 6 LSB/dB. The DC2870A Demo Circuit is optimized for wide operational frequency signals up to 40GHz using the 2.9mm SMK edge mount connector. Input impedance is internally matched to 50 ohm
