VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE DRIFT FROM DEVICE

TO DEVICE

Figure 35 shows a plot of output voltage and error for multiple

AD8318 devices measured at 5.8 GHz. The concentration of black

error plots represents the performance of the population at 25°C

(slope and intercept are calculated for each device). The red and blue

curves indicate the measured behavior of a population of devices

over temperature. This suggests a range on the drift (from device to

device) of 1.2 dB.

TEMPERATURE DRIFT AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES

Figure 36 shows the log slope and error over temperature for a

5.8 GHz input signal. Error due to drift over temperature consis-

tently remains within ±0.5 dB, and only begins to exceed this limit

when the ambient temperature drops below −20°C. When using a

reduced temperature range, higher measurement accuracy is

achievable for all frequencies.

SETTING THE OUTPUT SLOPE IN MEASUREMENT

MODE

To operate in measurement mode, VOUT is connected to VSET.

This yields the typical logarithmic slope of −25 mV/dB. The

output swing corresponding to the specified input range is then

approximately 0.5 V to 2.1 V. The slope and output swing can be

increased by placing a resistor divider between VOUT and

VSET (that is, one resistor from VOUT to VSET and one

resistor from VSET to common).

As an example, if two equal resistors, such as 10 kΩ/10 kΩ, are

used, the slope doubles to approximately −50 mV/dB. The input

impedance of VSET is approximately 500 kΩ. Slope setting

resistors should be kept below ~50 kΩ to prevent this input

impedance from affecting the resulting slope. When increasing

the slope, the new output voltage range cannot exceed the

output voltage swing capability of the output stage. Refer to the

Measurement Mode section for further details.
