ADL6010

EFFECT OF A CAPACITAVE LOAD ON RISE TIME

AND FALL TIME

The ADL6010 can measure both the instantaneous envelope

power and the average power of an RF signal. When VOUT is

unloaded, the output follows the envelope of the input tracking

bandwidths up to 40 MHz. By adding a simple RC circuit to the

basic connections circuit as shown in Figure 37, the output

signal can be averaged using single pole filtering.

In applications where the response bandwidth is fairly low,

when the ADL6010 is driven by a square wave modulated RF

input at a carrier frequency of 1 GHz.
