ADRV9001 in FDD Type Repeater Application with Baseband Processor
With a minimum number of external components, the ADRV9001 transceiver can be used to build complete RF-to-bits signal chain that
can serve as RF front end in repeater or frequency translator type applications. ADRV9001 internal AGC can be used to autonomously
monitor and set the appropriate gain level for Rx signal chains. For none time critical FDD type applications control of the ADRV9001
TRx can be done thru API commands that use SPI interface.
Table 7. Constrains and Limitations in FDD Type Repeater Application with Baseband Processor Analyzing Traffic Data
Functionality Constrains and Limitations
Rx Signal Path The user must ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Rx1 and Rx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at the
system level. In the previously described example, RxB inputs are used only during initialization calibrations. The user
must ensure that appropriate attenuation is present in line to prevent Rx being overloaded by Tx signal.
Tx Signal Path The user must ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Tx1 and Tx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at the system
level.
In FDD type Repeater application, ADRV9001 can use its internal LO to generate RF LO1 for uplink (example: Tx1 and
Rx1) and RF LO2 for downlink (example: Tx2 and Rx2). It is also possible to use external LO inputs in this mode of
operation. External LO1 operating at 2× RF LO can be used for uplink and External LO2 operating at 2× RF LO can be
used for downlink.
