ADRV9001 in FDD Type Repeater Application with Baseband Processor
ADRV9001 transceiver with minimum number of external components can be utilized to build complete RF-to-bits signal chain that can
serve as RF front end in repeater or frequency translator type applications. ADRV9001 internal AGC can be utilized to autonomously
monitor and set 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 utilize SPI interface.

Functionality
Constrains and Limitations
Rx Signal Path
User has to ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Rx1 and Rx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at system
level. In example above, RxB inputs are utilized only during initialization calibrations. User should ensure that
appropriate attenuation is present in line to prevent Rx being overloaded by Tx signal.
Tx Signal Path
User has to ensure that appropriate level of isolation between Tx1 and Tx2 as well as Rx to Tx is provided at 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 2x RF LO can be used for uplink and External LO2 operating at 2x RF LO can be
used for downlink.
