Since the RF signal path is linear, the original modulation is preserved. This part can be used as a general-purpose RF modulator, a variable attenuator/phase shifter, or a remodulator. The amplitude can be controlled from a maximum of - 4.5 dB to less than - 34.5 dB, and the phase can be shifted continuously over the entire 360° range. For maximum gain, the AD8341 delivers an OP1dB of 8.5 dBm, an OIP3 of 17.5 dBm, and an output noise floor of - 150.5 dBm/Hz, independent of phase. It operates over a frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 2.4 GHz. The baseband inputs in Cartesian I and Q format control the amplitude and phase modulation imposed on the RF input signal. Both I and Q inputs are dc-coupled with a ±500 mV differential full-scale range. The maximum modulation bandwidth is 230 MHz, which can be reduced by adding external capacitors to limit the noise bandwidth on the control lines. Both the RF inputs...
