| + | ==== Calibration ==== | ||
| + | Because the slope and intercept of the system vary from device to device, a system level calibration is **required**. For this board, a 4-point calibration is used to correct for some non-linearity in the RF detector' | ||
| + | - Apply four known signal levels to ADL5902. Note that it should be well within the linear operating range of the device {{ : | ||
| + | - Measure the corresponding output codes from the ADC | ||
| + | - Calculate SLOPE_ADC and INTERCEPT calibration coefficients using the following equations: | ||
| + | * **SLOPE_1** = (CODE_1 - CODE_2)/ | ||
| + | * **INTERCEPT1** = CODE_1/ | ||
| + | - This calculation is repeated using CODE2/CODE3 and CODE3/CODE4 to calculate SLOPE2/ | ||
| + | - These will be used to calculate the unknown input power level, PIN, when operation in the field using the equation | ||
| + | * **PIN** = (CODE/ | ||
| + | - The observed code from the ADC will be compared to the calibration coefficient codes in order to retrieve the appropriate SLOPE and INTERCEPT calibration coefficients. | ||
| + | * Example: If CODE from ADC is between CODE1 and CODE2, then SLOPE1/ | ||
