 The [[ADI>AD8318]] is a demodulating logarithmic amplifier, capable of accurately converting an RF input signal to a corresponding decibel-scaled output voltage. It employs the progressive compression technique over a cascaded amplifier chain, each stage of which is equipped with a detector cell. It maintains accurate log conformance for signals of 1 MHz to 6 GHz and provides useful operation to 8 GHz. The input range is typically 60 dB (re: 50 Ω) with error less than ±1 dB and provides a typical output voltage temperature stability of ±0.5 dB.
-The [[ADI>AD7887]] is a high speed, low power, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V power supply. The AD7887 is capable of 125 kSPS throughput rate. The output coding for the AD7887 is straight binary, and the part is capable of converting full power signals of up to 2.5 MHz. The ADC can be configured for either dual or single channel operation via the on-chip control register. There is a default single-channel mode that allows the AD7887 to be operated as a read-only ADC, thereby simplifying the control logic.

+==== Calibration ====
+Because the slope and intercept of the system vary from device to device, a system level calibration is **required**.
+  - Apply two known signal levels PIN_1 and PIN_2 close to the endpoints of the AD8318 linear input range. Note that it should be well within the linear operating range of the device (**-50 dBm to -10 dBm for this device**){{ :resources:eval:user-guides:circuits-from-the-lab:cn0150:14.png?nolink&400 |}}\\
+  - Measure the corresponding output codes CODE_1 and CODE_2 from the ADC
+  - Calculate SLOPE_ADC and INTERCEPT using the following equations:
+          * **SLOPE_ADC** = (CODE_2 - CODE_1)/(PIN_2 - PIN1)
+          * **INTERCEPT** = PIN_2 - (CODE_2/SLOPE_ADC)
+  - These will be used to calculate the unknown input power level, PIN, when operation in the field using the equation
+          * **PIN** = (CODE_OUT/SLOPE_ADC) + INTERCEPT
