Figure 37 shows that for a fixed input power, the ACP (measured in
dBm) tracks the output power as the gain is changed.
WCDMA APPLICATION
Figure 38 shows a plot of the output spectrum of the AD8341
transmitting a single-carrier WCDMA signal (Test Model 1-64
at 2140 MHz). The carrier power is approximately 9 dBm. The
differential I and Q control voltages are both equal to 0.353 V,
that is, the vector is sitting on the unit circle at 45°. At this
power level, an adjacent channel power ratio of 61 dBc is
achieved. The alternate channel power ratio of 72 dBc is
dominated by the noise floor of the AD8341.

Figure 38. AD8341 Single-Carrier WCDMA Spectrum at 2140 MHz
Figure 39 shows how ACPR and noise vary with varying input
power (differential I and Q control voltages are held at 0.353 V).
At high power levels, both adjacent and alternate channel power
ratios increase sharply. As output power drops, adjacent and
alternate channel power ratios both reach minimums before the
measurement becomes dominated by the noise floor of the
AD8341. At this point, adjacent and alternate channel power
ratios become approximately equal.
