For applications that are not response time critical, a

relatively large capacitor can be placed on the FLT4.

There is no maximum capacitance limit for CFLT4.

Figure 50 shows how output noise, rise time and fall time

vary vs. CFLT4 when the ADL5511 is driven by an 1.9 GHz

LTE carrier with a bandwidth of 10 MHz (LTE Test Model

E-TM1_1_10MHz, peak-to-average ratio = 11.99 dB).

ENVELOPE TRACKING ACCURACY

The envelope tracking accuracy of the ADL5511 is measured in

terms of the higher order distortion of the envelope output when

the RF input signal is AM modulated using a low-harmonic

sinusoid at a given frequency. Such an input sinusoidal envelope

has been generated using the ADL5390 multiplier modulator.

This generates a double sideband AM modulated signal of a

known modulation index. In this measurement, the ADL5511

acts as free-running AM demodulator without requiring a local

oscillator to demodulate the signal.

Figure 51 shows such a plot total harmonic distortion (THD)

of the VENV output vs. RF input power for the modulation

index of 0.25. As the input power level increases, the THD

improves until it sharply degrades at an input power level of

approximately 13 dBm. This sharp decrease is caused by the

clipping of the AM signal’s peak envelope. Figure 51 also shows

carrier leakage at VENV in dBc with respect to the input carrier

amplitude.

This measurement, when conducted over the full input power

range of the ADL5511, suffers from measurement inaccuracies

of the input modulated signal due to the spectrum analyzer’s

noise floor and therefore does not accurately reveal the ADL5511’s

limitations at the lower end of the measurement range. In

addition to this, the process of generating an AM signal for this

test (using the ADL5390 multiplier) is not perfect and resulted

in a source signal whose envelope was not harmonically pure.

TIME DOMAIN ENVELOPE TRACKING ACCURACY

The envelope tracking accuracy of the ADL5511 can also be

assessed in the time domain by looking at the input peak power

levels that cause clipping.

The usable rms input power range of the ADL5511 varies

depending on the desired accuracy level and the peak-to-

average ratio of the input signal. Figure 4 shows the linear

operating range of the VENV output when the RF input is

driven by unmodulated sine waves at various frequencies.

This shows operation up to rms input levels of approximately

19 dBm. If the signal has a peak-to-average ratio that is greater

than the square root of two, the usable input range on RFIN

will decrease. In general, the maximum input power for linear

operation should be determined by the peak envelope power

(PEP) of the input signal. Figure 52 shows the time-domain

response of the VENV output to a 900 MHz LTE carrier with

a bandwidth of 20 MHz (Test Model E-TM1_2_20MHz).

The signal level of the carrier (7 dBm rms, 19 dBm PEP)

was deliberately increased until clipping was observed at

the VENV output.

Note that the peak envelope power of a signal is derived

based on the rms level of the signal during a peak cycle, that is

V p-p/√2. For example, a signal that achieves a peak voltage of

10 V (or 20 V p-p) has a PEP of 30 dBm. According to this

definition, the PEP of a sine wave is equal to its rms power

level because it has a constant envelope.
