ADRV9001 IN A FDD TYPE REPEATER APPLICATION USING INTERNAL LOOPBACKS
Figure 10. ADRV9001 in FDD Type Repeater Application Without Baseband Processor Analyzing Traffic Data
FDD Type Repeater Without Baseband Processor Overview
With a minimum number of external components, the ADRV9001 transceiver can be used to build complete RF-to-RF signal chain that
can serve as repeater or frequency translator. ADRV9001 internal AGC can be used to autonomously monitor and set the appropriate gain
level for Rx signal chains. For none time critical FDD type applications control of the ADRV9001 TRx can be done thru API commands
that use SPI interface. Support of external crystal enables very compact solution where ADRV9001 provides clock for microprocessor that
programs and monitors ADRV9001 operation.

Functionality
Constrains and Limitations
Rx Signal Path
The user must ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Rx1 and Rx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at the
system level. In the previously described example, RxB inputs are used only during initialization calibrations. The user
must ensure that appropriate attenuation is present in line to prevent Rx being overloaded by Tx signal.
Tx Signal Path
The user must ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Tx1 and Tx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at the system
level.
LO Generation
In FDD type Repeater application, ADRV9001 can use its internal LO to generate RF LO1 for uplink (example: Tx1 and
Rx1) and RF LO2 for downlink (example: Tx2 and Rx2). It is also possible to use external LO inputs in this mode of
operation. External LO1 operating at 2× RF LO can be used for uplink and External LO2 operating at 2× RF LO can be
used for downlink.
