Figure 10 shows that rise time and fall time are strong
functions of RF input power. Data is taken without the
output fi lter capacitor.
For a given RF modulation type—WCDMA, for exam-
ple—the internal 150kHz fi lter provides nominal fi ltering
of the residual ripple level. Additional external fi ltering
occurs in the log domain, which introduces a systematic
log error in relation to the signal’s crest factor, as shown
in the following equation in dB.
Where CF is the crest factor and r is the duty cycle of the
measurement (or number of measurements made at the

peak envelope, divided by the total number of periodic
measurements in the measurement period). It is impor-
tant to note that the CF refers to the 150kHz low pass
fi ltered envelope of the signal. The error will depend on
the statistics and bandwidth of the modulation signal in
relation to the internal 150kHz fi lter. For example, in the
case of WCDMA, simulations prove that it is possible to
set the external fi lter capacitor corner frequency at 15kHz
and only introduce an error less than 0.1dB.
Figure 11 depicts the output AM modulation ripple as a
function of modulation difference frequency for a 2-tone
input signal at 2140MHz with –10dBm input power. The
