【AD8364-EVALZ Application Domains】

Wireless Communication Infrastructure

In linearisation/control of wireless base station power amplifiers, the AD8364-EVALZ precisely monitors transmit power and supplies feedback signals for automatic gain control (AGC) loops. This is critical for maintaining the stability and efficiency of wireless communication systems.

Antenna System Monitoring

By monitoring antenna VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio), mismatches in antenna systems can be promptly detected, preventing equipment damage and optimising transmission efficiency. The dual-channel design of the AD8364-EVALZ makes it particularly well-suited for such comparative measurements.

General-Purpose RF Measurement

As a gain and power control and measurement tool, the AD8364-EVALZ can be employed in various RF instruments and test systems. Its high precision and wide dynamic range enable adaptation to multiple measurement scenarios.

Transmitter Systems

The AD8364-EVALZ functions as a Transmitter Signal Strength Indicator (TSSI), directly measuring transmitter output power to provide critical parameters for system monitoring and control.
