However, a large VSmE( filter capacitor reduces output noise and improves the rms 100400E measurement accuracy but at the expense of the response time. OISLL TIM10300T N/FA In applications where the response time is not critical, place a EUISTPR relatively large capacitor on the CRMS pin. In Figure 44, a value 1.0200OU of 100 nF is used. For most signal modulation schemes, this value 0.1100 ensures excellent rms measurement accuracy and low residual output noise. There is no maximum capacitance limit for CRMS. 000.11101001000 047 Figure 45 and Figure 46 show how output noise varies with CRMS CAPACITANCE (nF) 13838- CRMS when the ADL5904 is driven by a single-carrier W-CDMA Figure 46.

This test was initial y performed with a mE( E large capacitance value on the CRMS pin (for example, 10 µF). 100300OISLL TIM The value of VRMS was noted for a fixed input level (for example, T N/FA −10 dBm). The value of C EU RMS was then progressively reduced (this IS10200TPR can be accomplished with press-down capacitors) until the value OU of VRMS started to deviate from its original value (this indicates 1.0100 that the accuracy of the rms computation is degrading and that CRMS is becoming too small). 0.100.11101001000 046 In general, the minimum CRMS value required increases as the CRMS CAPACITANCE (nF) peak to average ratio of the carrier increases.

Output Noise, Rise and Fall Times vs. CRMS Capacitance, required CRMS also tends to increase as the bandwidth of the Single-Carrier W-CDMA (Test Model TM1-64) at 900 MHz with PIN = 0 dBm carrier decreases. With narrow-band carriers, the noise spectrum of the VRMS output tends to have a correspondingly narrow profile. The relatively narrow spectral profile requires a larger value of CRMS that reduces the low-pass corner frequency of the averaging function and ensures a valid rms computation. Table 5.
