Functional Diagram
General Descriptions
The HMC1020LP4E Power Detector is designed for
RF power measurement and control applications for
frequencies up to 3.9 GHz. The detector provides
an accurate RMS representation of any broadband,
single-ended RF/IF input signal. The output is a temperature compensated, monotonic representation of
real signal power, measured with an input sensing
range of 72 dB.
The HMC1020LP4E is ideally suited to those wide
bandwidth, wide dynamic range applications requiring repeatable measurement of real signal power,
especially where RF/IF wave shape and/or crest factor
change with time.
The integration bandwidth of the HMC1020LP4E is
digitally programmable with the use of input pins
SCI1-4 over a range of more than 3 decades. This
allows the user to dynamically set the operation
bandwidth and also permits the detection of different
types of modulations on the same platform.
HMC1020LP4E features an internal op-amp at the output stage, which provides for slope / intercept adjustments and enables controller application.

HMC1020LP4E
v02.0511
Application Information
Principle of Operation
The HMC1020LP4E power detector is the optimal solution for monitoring and controlling transmitted and received
signal power, measuring the incident RF signal power, and then generating an output signal representing the input
power level.
The HMC1020LP4E is a monolithic true-RMS detector, which in fact is an analog calculator, designed to measure
the actual RMS power of the input signal, independent of the modulated signal waveform complexity or modulation
scheme. At the core of an RMS detector is a full-wave rectifier, log/antilog circuit, and an integrator. The RMS output
signal is directly proportional to the logarithm of the time-average of VIN2. The bias block also contains temperature
compensation circuits which stabilize output accuracy over the entire operating temperature range. The DC offset
cancellation circuit actively cancels internal offsets so that even very small input signal levels can be measured
accurately.
The HMC1020LP4E achieves exceptional RF power measurement accuracy independent of the modulation of the
carrier, with the system architecture shown in the block diagram figure. The relation between the HMC1020LP4Es
RMSOUT output and the RF input power is given below:
11
11 - 14
HMC1020LP4E
v02.0511
Due to part-to-part variations in log-slope and log-intercept, a system-level calibration is recommended to satisfy
absolute accuracy requirements; refer to the System Calibration section for more details.
Note that the provided single-ended input interface covers the whole operating spectrum of the HMC1020LP4E
and does not require matching/tuning for different frequencies. The performance of the HMC1020LP4E at different
frequencies is shown below:

power detectors - SMT
Using larger values of SCI will narrow the operating bandwidth of the integrator, resulting in a longer averaging
time interval and a more filtered output signal. It will also slow the power detectors transient response. A larger
SCI value favors output accuracy over speed. For the fastest possible transient settling times set SCI to 0000. This
configuration will operate the integrator at its widest possible bandwidth, resulting in short averaging time-interval
and an output signal with little filtering. For most applications an SCI setting may be selected to maintain a balance
between speed and accuracy. Furthermore, error performance over modulation bandwidth is dependent on the SCI
setting. For example, modulations with relatively low frequency components and high crest factors may require higher
SCI (integration) settings.

Standby Mode
The ENX pin can be used to force the power detector into a low-power standby mode. As ENX is deactivated, power
is restored to all of the circuits. There is no memory of previous conditions. Coming out of standby mode, internal
integration and COFS capacitors will require recharging, so if large SCI values have been chosen, the wake-up time
will be lengthened.

The HMC1020LP4E is capable of detecting the average power of RF signals with complex modulation schemes with
exceptional accuracy. The proprietary RMS detection core is optimized to accurately detect the RMS power of the
modulated RF signals with very high crest factors. This crest factor immune detection architecture of HMC1020LP4E
results in detection accuracy of better than 0.2 dB over the entire operating frequency and temperature range. The
response of the HMC1020LP4E to a WCDMA4TM test signal is compared with the CW response in the following plots:

HMC1020LP4E

System Calibration
Due to part-to-part variations in log-slope and log-intercept, a system-level calibration is recommended to satisfy
absolute accuracy requirements. When performing this calibration, two test points near the top end and bottom-end
of the desired detection dynamic range should be chosen. It is best to measure the calibration points in the regions
(of frequency and amplitude) where accuracy is most important. The log-slope and log-intercept parameters should
be derived and then stored in nonvolatile memory. These parameters relate the RMSOUT output voltage reading of
HMC1020LP4E to the actual RMS power level as shown below:
PIN = RMSOUT / [log-slope] + [log-intercept], dBm
The derivation procedure of the log-slope and log-intercept parameters is elaborated below:
With RMSOUT = 2.0338V at Pin = -10 dBm,
and RMSOUT = 0.5967V at Pin = -50 dBm
slope calibration constant = SCC
SCC = = (-50+10)/(0.5967-2.0338) =27.83 dB/V
intercept calibration constant = ICC
ICC = Pin SCC *RMSOUT = -10 27.83 * 2.0338 = -66.60 dBm
Now performing a power measurement at -30 dBm:
RMSOUT measures 1.3089V
[Measured Pin] = [Measured RMSOUT]*SCC + ICC
[Measured Pin] = 1.3089*27.83 66.60 = -30.17 dBm
An error of only 0.17 dB
Factory system calibration measurements should be made using an input signal representative of the application. If
the power detector is intended to operate over a wide range of frequencies, then a central frequency should be chosen
for calibration.
Layout Considerations
Mount RF input coupling capacitors close to the INP and INP pins.
Solder the heat slug on the package underside to a grounded island which can draw heat away from the die with
low thermal impedance. The grounded island should be at RF ground potential.
Connect power detector ground to the RF ground plane, and mount the supply decoupling capacitors close
to the supply pins.
