Content for ADRF6518

The ADRF6518 is a matched pair of fully differential low noise and low distortion programmable filters and variable gain amplifiers (VGAs). Each channel is capable of rejecting large out-of-band interferers while reliably boosting the wanted signal, thus reducing the bandwidth and resolution requirements on the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The excellent matching between channels and their high spurious-free dynamic range over all gain and bandwidth settings make the ADRF6518 ideal for quadrature-based (IQ) communication systems with dense constellations, multiple carriers, and nearby interferers. The various amplifier gains, filter corners and other features are all programmable via a serial port interface (SPI) port.
