adl5523 rev. a | page 18 of 24 tuning the adl5523 for optimal noise figure the adl5523 is a monolithic low noise amplifier (lna) in a 3 mm 3 mm lfcsp. the evaluation board, as shipped from the factory, gives a noise figure of 0.9 db over a bandwidth of several hundred megahertz. the specific frequency where optimal noise is reached depends on the tuning. the bandwidth of the adl5523 is 400 mhz to 4 ghz, although noise figure degrades above 2.5 ghz as the gain begins to roll off. this section is based on analog devices, inc., lab measurements. although there are plots in which the agilent advanced design system (ads) environment is used, the data in these plots come entirely from analog devices lab measurements. tuning s22 tuning of the lna begins with s22 (output tuning). tuning of the lna output is done by placing reactive components on the bias line, referred to in the schematic in figure 53 as vpos. on the lna evaluation board, s22 tuning is achieved by either the use of an inductor (l2) on the bias line or a shunt capacitor (c3) on the bias line to ground. typically, either l2 is required or c3 but not both. the evaluation board uses a slider on the bias line to make tuning for s22 as easy as possible. the slider is an area of ground etch adjacent to the bias line that is clear of solder mask. the bias line in this area is also free of solder mask. this allows a capacitor (c3) to be placed anywhere on the bias line to ground, which provides easy and accurate tuning for s22. note that the pcb layout shows two capacitors, c3 and c4. typically, only one of these capacitors is needed for good s22 tuning. the slider is seen in the lna pcb layout in figure 57 as the area near the red arrows to the right of the bias line. with a 0 resistor in place of l2, moving a 1 nf capacitor from the top to the bottom effectively tunes s22 from 1400 mhz to 3500 mhz. table 8 shows the component values and placement required for s22 tuning from 800 mhz to 3200 mhz. for lower frequencies, higher values of l2 can be used to tune s22, and for frequencies from 3.2 ghz to 4.0 ghz, smaller values of capacitors can be used on the slider. table 8. capacitor and inductor tuning and placement for lna s22 tuning frequency (mhz) l2 (nh) c3 (nf) c3 placement 800 3.4 open n/a 1400 0 1 nf 6 2000 0 1 nf 4 2400 0 1 nf 3 2800 0 1 nf 2 3200 0 1 nf 1 06829-056 figure 57. pcb layout for lna evaluation board (note slider on bias line with capacitor placement for s22 tuning noted by arrows)
adl5523 rev. a | page 19 of 24 tuning the lna input for optimal gain lnas are generally tuned for either gain or noise optimization, or some trade-off between the two. one figure of merit of an lna is how much trade-off must be made for one of these parameters to optimize the other. with the adl5523, an s11 of 6 db to 8 db at the input to the matching network can still be achieved typically when optimizing for noise. for optimal gain matching, the goal is to use a matching network that converts the input impedance of the lna to the characteristic impedance of the system, typically 50 . correct tuning for gain matching results in a conjugate match. that is, the impedance of the matching network at the lna input, looking back toward the generator, is always the complex conjugate of the lna input impedance when matched for gain. once s11 * , the complex conjugate of s11, is known, a matching circuit must be found that transforms the 50 system impedance into the conjugate s11 impedance. to do this, the designer starts at the origin of the smith chart circle and finds components that move the 50 match to s11 * . the related impedances for gain matching are shown in figure 58 . a smith chart representation of the conjugate match is shown in figure 59 . lna s11 s11* 50? 50? matching network 06829-057 figure 58. matching lna input for gain s11* s11 06829-058 figure 59. smith chart representation of conjugate match tuning the lna input for optimal noise figure the point in the smith chart at which matching for optimal noise occurs is typically referred to as gamma optimal or opt . typically, it is significantly different from the gain matching point; finding opt is not as obvious as the gain match. opt is a function of the semiconductor structure and characteristics of the lna. the fabrication facility that produces the lna typically has this information. opt can also be determined by doing source pull testing in the lab. noise matching for the adl5523 is actually very easy because the area of the smith chart where the noise figure is optimal or near optimal is not confined to a narrow area around opt . this is very advantageous because it means that component variations play a smaller part in the board-to-board variation of noise figure. the matching area for optimal noise for the adl5523 is shown in figure 60 . note that textbooks usually define noise circles as a conjugate match. however, for the purpose of this data sheet, the circle is a direct match. to find the correct matching circuit, the designer must start with the s11 of the lna and select components that move the s11 to within this circle. an important aspect of the overall adl5523 ease of tuning is that as long as s22 is matched for a particular frequency, the noise matching area remains very consistent in its placement for that frequency. if s22 is matched, take the measured s11 and move it into the red circle shown in figure 60 for optimal noise matching. 5 10 10 5 1 1 0.5 0.5 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.5 1 5 10 06829-059 figure 60. area of optimal noise matching for adl5523
adl5523 rev. a | page 20 of 24 m2 m1 s11 of the lna with s22 matched to determine the correct matching circuit for optimal noise, look at the results of s11 for the various frequencies at which s22 was tuned earlier in the tu ning s22 section. once s11 is determined for a particular frequency, find the matching components that provided that match. figure 62 and figure 63 show s11 for the various frequencies. again, these measurements are all based on s22 being matched at that particular frequency. note that, for the examples shown in figure 62 and figure 63 , s11 is either in the lower left quadrant of the smith chart or slightly into the upper left. to move the impedance in the given noise circle, a series l component at the lna input is required. the l values in the examples differ but a correct l value moves the match along the constant r circle up into the upper left quadrant of the smith chart. frequency (400mhz to 4ghz) m1 frequency 400mhz s11 = 0.877/?44.639 impedance = z0 (0.443 ? j2.365) m2 frequency 2ghz s11 = 0.615/?170.569 impedance = z0 (0.240 ? j0.078) 06829-061 a shunt capacitor can then be added to move the match along a constant admittance line, down and to the right, directly into the center of the noise circle given in figure 60 . figure 62. s11 of adl5523 with s22 matched at 2 ghz m2 m1 the solution for the structure of the match for the examples in figure 62 and figure 63 is a series l to the input of the lna and a shunt capacitor at the generator end of this inductor. the recommended components for matching at various frequencies are shown in table 7 . m1 frequency 400mhz s11 = 0.864/?40.186 impedance = z0 (0.594 ? j2.615) m2 frequency 3.2ghz s11 = 0.595/163.164 impedance = z0 (0.259 + j0.138) an example of the effect of the series l, shunt c match, based on the 800 mhz example, is given in figure 61 . this example uses the output from the agilent ads smith chart tool. 06829-060 figure 61. example of series l, shunt c matching network for opt frequency (400mhz to 4ghz) 06829-062 figure 63. s11 of adl5523 with s22 matched at 3.2 ghz
