The LT
®
5504 is an 800MHz to 2700MHz monolithic inte-
grated measuring receiver, capable of detecting a wide
dynamic range RF signal from –75dBm to +5dBm. The
logarithm of the RF signal is precisely converted into a
linear DC voltage. The LT5504 consists of RF/IF limiters,
an LO buffer amplifier, a limiting mixer, a 3rd-order
450MHz integrated low pass filter, RF/IF detectors and an
output interface. The ultrawide dynamic range is achieved
by simultaneously measuring the RF signal and a down-
converted IF signal obtained using the on-chip mixer and
an external local oscillator. The RF- and IF-detected sig-
nals are summed to generate an accurate linear DC voltage
proportional to the input RF voltage (or power) in dB. The
output is buffered with a low output impedance driver.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LT5504 consists of the following sections: RF/IF
limiters, limiting mixer, RF/IF detectors, LO buffer ampli-
fier, 3rd-order integrated low pass filter (LPF), output
interface and bias circuitry.
An RF signal ranging from 800MHz to 2.7GHz is detected
by the RF and IF detectors using a proprietary technique.
The down-converted IF signal is band limited by the on-
chip LPF, reducing broadband noise, and thus an ultrawide
dynamic range signal can be measured. The RF measuring
receiver is essentially a logarithmic voltage detector. The
measured output voltage is directly proportional to the RF
signal voltage. An internal temperature compensation
circuit results in a highly temperature-stable output volt-
age.

RF Limiter
The differential input impedance of the RF limiter is shown
in Figure 1. A 1:1 input transformer can be used to achieve
50Ω broadband matching with an 82Ω shunt resistor (R1)
at the inputs as shown in Figure 5.
The 1:1 RF input transformer can also be replaced with a
narrow band single-ended-to-differential conversion cir-
cuit using three discrete elements as shown in Figure 2.
Their nominal values are listed in Table 1. Due to the
parasitics of the PCB, these values may require adjust-
ment.
