Instruction Manual

Detailed Description
The MAX2203 RMS power detector is designed to
operate from 800MHz to 2.0GHz. The device is ideal for
WCDMA, cdma2000, and high-speed downlink/uplink
packet access. The MAX2203 accepts an RF signal at
the input and outputs the same voltage regardless of
the peak-average of the input signal. The output volt-
age and input power is linear in dB. The device has a
-24dBm to +3dBm detection range, and every dB
change in input power gives 35mV (typ) change in out-
put voltage. Table 1 shows the peak to average of the
signals used to test the MAX2203.
