Product Summary

The AD8306AR is a complete IF limiting amplifier, providing both an accurate logarithmic (decibel) measure of the input signal (the RSSI function) over a dynamic range of 100 dB, and a programmable limiter output, useful from 5 MHz to 400 MHz. The applications of the AD8306AR are (1)Receivers for Frequency and Phase Modulation; (2)Very Wide Range IF and RF Power Measurement; (3)Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI); (4)Low Cost Radar and Sonar Signal Processing; (5)Instrumentation: Network and Spectrum Analyzers.
