APPLICATIONS Point to point microwave radios Instrumentation Satellite communications (SATCOM) Phased arrays GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADL5725 is a narrow-band, high performance, low noise amplifier (LNA) targeting microwave radio link receiver designs. The monolithic silicon germanium (SiGe) design is optimized for microwave radio link bands ranging from 17.7 GHz to 19.7 GHz. The unique design offers a single-ended 50 Ω input impedance and provides a 100 Ω balanced differential output that is ideal for driving Analog Devices, Inc., differential downconverters and radio frequency (RF) sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Rev. 0 This low noise amplifier provides noise figure performance that, in the past, required more expensive three-five (III-V) compounds process technology to achieve. The ADL5721 and ADL5723 to ADL5726 family of narrow-band LNAs are each packaged in a tiny, thermally enhanced, 2.00 mm × 2 mm LFCSP package. The ADL5721 and ADL5723 to ADL5726 family operates over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Document Feedback Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

The monolithic SiGe design is optimized for microwave radio link bands ranging from 17.7 GHz to 19.7 GHz. The unique design of the ADL5725 offers a single-ended 50 Ω input impedance via the INPT pin, and provides a 100 Ω balanced differential output via the OUTP and OUTN pins. This LNA is ideal for driving Analog Devices differential downconverters and RF sampling ADCs. The ADL5725 provides cost-effective noise figure performance without requiring more expensive III-V compounds process technology. The ADL5725 is available in a 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm LFCSP package, and operates over the temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

When using the device as a single-ended output, use the RFOP output of the evaluation board and terminate RFON to 50 Ω. Note that the converse can be done as well; however, doing so produces slightly different results from the plots shown in this section because there is some amplitude imbalance between the two differential ports, RFOP and RFON. The output trace and connector loss were not deembedded for these measurements. INPUT IP3 (dBm) Figure 13.

It supports a single 5 V supply for ease of use. For 5 V operation, use the 3.3 V and 1.8 V test loops for evaluation purposes only. When using a 3.3 V or 1.8 V supply, remove the R1 and R2 resistors from the evaluation board. Figure 19 shows the ADL5725EVALZ evaluation board lab bench setup. RESULTS INITIAL SETUP Figure 18 shows the results of the differential output for an input of 17.7 GHz at −15 dBm. The hybrid and board loss were not deembedded. Figure 18 shows the expected results when testing the ADL5725-EVALZ using the Rev. A version of the evaluation board and its software. Note that future iterations of the software may produce different results. See the ADL5725 product page for the most recent software version. To set up the ADL5725-EVALZ, take the following steps: 4.
