TDD Type Repeater Overview
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 TDD type repeater or frequency translator applications. In TDD type applications internal DPD block can be
utilized to linearize external power amplifier and improve overall system efficiency. ADRV9001 internal AGC can be utilized to
autonomously monitor and set appropriate gain level for Rx signal chains. FPGA or baseband processor is responsible for appropriate
time alignment of Rx and Tx time slots. Control of the ADRV9001 Rx and Tx signal chains can be done by toggling control lines.
ADRV9001 can provide power amplifier bias voltage by utilizing AuxDAC outputs.
