GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRV9029 is a highly integrated, radio frequency (RF) agile
transceiver offering four independently controlled transmitters,
dedicated observation receiver inputs for monitoring each
transmitter channel, four independently controlled receivers,
integrated synthesizers, and digital signal processing functions
providing a complete transceiver solution. The device provides
the performance demanded by cellular infrastructure applications,
such as small cell base station radios, macro 3G/4G/5G systems,
and massive multiple in/multiple out (MIMO) base stations.
The receiver subsystem consists of four independent, wide
bandwidth, direct conversion receivers with wide dynamic
range. The four independent transmitters use a direct conversion
modulator resulting in low noise operation with low power
consumption. The device also includes two wide bandwidth,
time shared, observation path receivers with two inputs each for
monitoring transmitter outputs.
The complete transceiver subsystem includes automatic and
manual attenuation control, dc offset correction, quadrature error
correction (QEC), and digital filtering, eliminating the need for
these functions in the digital baseband. Other auxiliary

functions such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-
to-analog converters (DACs), and general-purpose input/
outputs (GPIOs) that provide an array of digital control options
are also integrated.
To achieve a high level of RF performance, the transceiver
includes five fully integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs). Two
PLLs provide low noise and low power fractional-N RF
synthesis for the transmitter and receiver signal paths. A third
fully integrated PLL supports an independent local oscillator (LO)
mode for the observation receiver. The fourth PLL generates
the clocks needed for the converters and digital circuits, and a
fifth PLL provides the clock for the serial data interface.
A multichip synchronization mechanism synchronizes the
phase of all LOs and baseband clocks between multiple
ADRV9029 chips. All voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and
loop filter components are integrated and adjustable through the
digital control interface.
This device contains a fully integrated, low power digital
predistortion (DPD) adaptation engine for use in power
amplifier linearization. DPD enables use of high efficiency power
amplifiers, reducing the power consumption of base station radios
while also reducing the number of SERDES lanes necessary to
interface with baseband processors.
The low power crest factor reduction (CFR) engine of the
ADRV9029 reduces the peak to average ratio (PAR) of the
input signal, enabling higher efficiency transmit line ups while
reducing the processing load on baseband processors.
The serial data interface consists of four serializer lanes and four
deserializer lanes. The interface supports both the JESD204B and
JESD204C standards, operating at data rates up to 24.33 Gbps.
The interface also supports interleaved mode for lower
bandwidths, thus reducing the number of high speed data
interface lanes to one. Both fixed and floating-point data
formats are supported. The floating-point format allows
internal automatic gain control (AGC) to be invisible to the
demodulator device.
The ADRV9029 is powered directly from 1.0 V, 1.3 V, and
1.8 V regulators and is controlled via a standard serial
peripheral interface (SPI) serial port. Comprehensive power-
down modes are included to minimize power consumption in
normal use. The ADRV9029 is packaged in a 14 mm × 14 mm,
289-ball chip scale ball grid array (CSP_BGA).

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL
The ADRV9029 is a highly integrated RF transceiver capable of
configuration for a wide range of applications. The device
integrates all the RF, mixed-signal, and digital blocks necessary
to provide all transmitter, traffic receiver, and observation
receiver functions in a single device. Programmability allows
the device to be adapted for use in many 3G/4G/5G cellular
standards in frequency division duplex (FDD) and time
division duplex (TDD) modes.
Four observation receiver channels monitor the transmitter
outputs and provide tracking correction of dc offset,
quadrature error, and transmitter LO leakage to maintain a high
performance level under varying temperatures and input signal
conditions. Firmware supplied with the device implements all
initialization and calibration with no user interaction. Additionally,
the device includes test modes allowing system designers to
debug designs during prototyping and to optimize radio
configurations.
The ADRV9029 contains four high speed serial interface
(SERDES) links for the transmit chain and four high speed
links shared by the receiver and observation receiver chains
(JESD204B Subclass 1 compliant and supports JESD204C).
TRANSMITTER
The ADRV9029 transmitter section consists of four identical
and independently controlled channels that provide all the
digital processing, mixed-signal, and RF blocks necessary to
implement a direct conversion system while sharing a common
frequency synthesizer. The digital data from the SERDES lanes
pass through a digital processing block that includes a series of
programmable half-band filters, interpolation stages, and FIR
filters, including a programmable FIR filter with variable
interpolation rates and up to 80 taps. The output of this digital
chain is connected to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
The DAC sample rate is adjustable up to 2.5 GHz. The in-phase
(I) and quadrature (Q) channels are identical in each transmitter
signal chain.
After conversion to baseband analog signals, the I and Q signals are
filtered to remove sampling artifacts and fed to the upconversion
mixers. Each transmit chain provides a wide attenuation
adjustment range with fine granularity to help designers
optimize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
RECEIVER
The ADRV9029 provides four independent receiver channels.
Each channel contains all the blocks necessary to receive RF
signals and convert these signals to digital data usable by a
baseband processor. Each receiver can be configured as a direct
conversion system that supports up to a bandwidth of 200 MHz.
Each channel contains a programmable attenuator stage, followed
by matched I and Q mixers that downconvert received signals to
baseband for digitization.
Rev. 0 | Page 127 of 133
ADRV9029
Two gain control options are available, as follows:
 Users can implement their own gain control algorithms
using their baseband processor to manage manual gain
control mode
 Users can use the on-chip automatic gain control (AGC)
system.
Performance is optimized by mapping each gain control setting
to specific attenuation levels at each adjustable gain block in the
receive signal path. Additionally, each channel contains inde-
pendent receive signal strength indication (RSSI) measurement
capability, dc offset tracking, and all the circuitry necessary for
self calibration.
The receivers include analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and
adjustable sample rates that produce data streams from the
received signals. The signals can be conditioned further by a
series of decimation filters and a programmable FIR filter with
additional decimation settings. The sample rate of each digital
filter block is adjustable by changing decimation factors to
produce the desired output data rate. All receiver outputs are
connected to the SERDES block, where the data is formatted
and serialized for transmission to the baseband processor.
OBSERVATION RECEIVER
The ADRV9029 provides four independent observation
receiver inputs. These inputs are similar in implementation to the
standard receiver channels in terms of the mixers, ADCs, and
filtering blocks. The main difference is that these receivers
operate with an observation bandwidth up to 450 MHz,
allowing the receivers to receive all the transmitter channel
information needed for implementing digital correction
algorithms.
Each input is used as the feedback monitor channel for a
corresponding transmitter channel. Table 14 shows the possible
combinations of transmitter and observation channels.
Table 14. Possible Transmitter-Observation Channel
Combinations
Transmitter Channel Observation Channel
TX1± ORX1± or ORX2±
A
TX2± ORX1± or ORX2±
TX3± ORX3± or ORX4±
A
TX4± ORX3± or ORX4±
CLOCK INPUT
The ADRV9029 requires a differential clock connected to the
DEVCLK± pins. The frequency of the clock input must be
between 15 MHz and 1000 MHz and must have low phase
noise because this signal generates the RF LO and internal
sampling clocks.
ADRV9029
SYNTHESIZERS
The ADRV9029 contains four fractional-N PLLs to generate
the RF LO for the signal paths and all internal clock sources.
This group of PLLs includes two RF PLLs for transmit and
receive LO generation, an auxiliary PLL that can be used by the
observation receivers, and a clock PLL. Each PLL is
independently controlled with no need for external
components to set frequencies.
RF Synthesizers
The two RF synthesizers use fractional-N PLLs to generate RF LOs
for multiple receiver and transmitter channels. The fractional-
N PLL incorporates a four-core internal voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO) and loop filter, capable of generating low
phase noise signals with no external components required. An
internal LO multiplexer (mux) enables each PLL to supply LOs
to any or all receivers and transmitters (for example, LO1 to all
transmitters, LO2 to all receivers), resulting in maximum
flexibility when configuring the device for TDD operation. The
LOs on multiple devices can be phase synchronized to support
active antenna systems and beam forming applications.
Auxiliary Synthesizer
The auxiliary synthesizer uses a single core VCO fractional-N
PLL to generate the signals necessary to calibrate the device.
The output of this block uses a separate mux system to route
LOs for calibrating different functions during initialization.
The auxiliary synthesizer can also be used to generate LO
signals for the observation receivers or as an offset LO used in
the receiver signal chains.
Clock Synthesizer
The ADRV9029 contains a single core VCO fractional-N PLL
synthesizer that generates all baseband related clock signals and
SERDES clocks. This fractional-N PLL is programmed based on
the data rate and sample rate requirements of the system, which
typically require the system to operate in integer mode.
For JESD204B configurations with Np = 12 and JESD204C
configurations, a dedicated PLL included in the SERDES block
generates the SERDES clocks.
SPI INTERFACE
The ADRV9029 uses a SPI to communicate with the baseband
processor. This interface can be configured as a 4-wire interface
with dedicated receive and transmit ports, or the interface can
be configured as a 3-wire interface with a bidirectional data
communications port. This bus allows the baseband processor
to set all device control parameters using a simple address data
serial bus protocol.
Write commands follow a 24-bit format. The first bit sets the
bus direction of the bus transfer. The next 15 bits set the
address where data is written. The final eight bits are the data
being transferred to the specific register address.
Read commands follow a similar format with the exception that
the first 16 bits are transferred on the SPI_DIO pin, and the final
Rev. 0 | Page 128 of 133
Data Sheet
eight bits are read from the ADRV9029, either on the SPI_DO
pin in 4-wire mode or on the SPI_DIO pin in 3-wire mode.
GPIO_X PINS
The ADRV9029 provides 19 general-purpose input/output
signals (GPIOs) referenced to VIF that can be configured for
numerous functions. When configured as outputs, certain pins
can provide real-time signal information to the baseband
processor, allowing the baseband processor to determine
receiver performance. A pointer register selects what
information is output to these pins.
Signals used for manual gain mode, calibration flags, state
machine status, and various receiver parameters are among
the outputs that can be monitored on the GPIO pins.
Additionally, certain GPIO pins can be configured as inputs and
used for various functions, such as setting the receiver gain in
real time.
AUXILIARY CONVERTERS
GPIO_ANA_x/AUXDAC_x
The ADRV9029 contains eight analog GPIOs (the GPIO_ANA_x
pins) that are multiplexed with eight identical auxiliary DACs
(AUXDAC_x). The analog GPIO ports can be used to control
other analog devices or receive control inputs referenced to the
VDDA_1P8 supply. The auxiliary DACs are 12-bit converters
capable of supplying up to 10 mA. These outputs are typically
used to supply bias current or variable control voltages for
other related components with analog control inputs.
AUXADC_x
The ADRV9029 contains two auxiliary ADCs with four total
input pins (AUXADC_x). These auxiliary ADCs provide 10-bit
monotonic outputs with an input voltage range of 0.05 V to
0.95 V. When enabled, each auxiliary ADC is free running. An
application programming interface (API) command latches the
ADC output value to a register. The ADRV9029 also contains
an ADC that supports a built-in diode-based temperature sensor.
DIGITAL PREDISTORTION (DPD)
The ADRV9029 provides a fully integrated DPD system that
linearizes the output of the transmitter power amplifier by
altering the digital waveform to compensate for nonlinearities
in the power amplifier response. Both the DPD actuator and
coefficient calculation engine are integrated within the device.
This system uses an ORx channel to monitor the output of the
power amplifier and calculates the appropriate predistortion
that must be inserted into the transmitter datapath to linearize
the output. The integrated DPD capability allows the system to
drive the power amplifier closer to saturation, enabling a higher
efficiency power amplifier while maintaining linearity. The DPD is
optimized for power amplifiers with rms output powers in the
250 mW to 10 W range. The DPD engine is highly configurable
and can operate over a range of clock rates, which allows the
DPD system to scale so this system can support different carrier
configurations within the transmitter bandwidth. The additional
