Analog devices offers RF-measuring chip

Designers at Analog Devices Inc. of Norwood, Mass., are introducing their AD8361 TruPwr Detection RF integrated circuit — a root mean square-to-direct current converter that operates at radio frequencies to measure complex waveforms such as traditional and wideband Code Division Multiple Access. The chip operates over a VHF/UHF frequency range of 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, which is appropriate for wireless communications such as two-way radio, radio networks, and worldwide cellular phones. Other applications include fiber optic links, instrumentation, and test equipment. The chip requires one power supply of 2.7 to 5.5 volts.
