GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6510 is a matched pair of fully differential low noise and low distortion programmable filters and variable gain amplifiers (VGAs). Each channel is capable of rejecting large out-ofband interferers while reliably boosting the wanted signal, thus reducing the bandwidth and resolution requirements on the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The excellent matching between channels and their high spurious-free dynamic range over all gain and bandwidth settings make the ADRF6510 ideal for quadrature-based (IQ) communication systems with dense constellations, multiple carriers, and nearby interferers.
