The wideband frequency response is an advantage in broad-
band applications, such as predistortion receiver designs and
instrumentation applications. However, by designing for a wide
analog input frequency range, the cascaded SNR performance
is somewhat degraded due to high frequency noise aliasing into
the wanted Nyquist zone.
An alternative narrow-band approach is presented in Figure 40.
By designing a narrow band-pass antialiasing filter between the
ADL5561 and the target ADC, the output noise of the ADL5561
outside of the intended Nyquist zone can be attenuated, helping
to preserve the available SNR of the ADC. In general, the SNR
improves several decibels when including a reasonable order anti-
aliasing filter. In this example, a low loss 1:1 input transformer is
used to match the ADL5561 balanced input to a 50 Ω unbalanced
source, resulting in minimum insertion loss at the input.
Figure 40 is optimized for driving some of the Analog Devices
popular unbuffered ADCs, such as the AD9246, AD9640,
and AD6655. Table 9 includes antialiasing filter component
recommendations for popular IF sampling center frequencies.
Inductor L5 works in parallel with the on-chip ADC input
capacitance and a portion of the capacitance presented by C4 to
form a resonant tank circuit. The resonant tank helps to ensure
that the ADC input looks like a real resistance at the target center
frequency. The L5 inductor shorts the ADC inputs at dc, which
introduces a zero into the transfer function. In addition, the ac
coupling capacitors introduce additional zeros into the transfer
function. The final overall frequency response takes on a band-
pass characteristic, helping to reject noise outside of the intended
Nyquist zone. Table 9 provides initial suggestions for prototyping
purposes. Some empirical optimization may be needed to help
compensate for actual PCB parasitic.
