Product Details
The EV-ADF5901SD2Z evaluation board allows the user
to evaluate the performance of the ADF5901 24 GHz VCO
and PGA with a 2-channel PA output. Figure 1 shows the
EV-ADF5901SD2Z, which contains the ADF5901, the ADF4159,
three high frequency, K-type SMA connectors for the local
oscillator (LO) output and two transceiver (Tx) outputs, two
high frequency SMA connectors for the AUX and the AUX
outputs, banana connectors for power supply, and a connector
for the serial interface.
The EV-ADF5901SD2Z evaluation kit also contains software
that is compatible with Windows XP and later versions to allow
easy programming of the device.
The EV-ADF5901SD2Z evaluation board requires an EVALSDP-CS1Z
(SDP-S) controller board, which is not supplied with
the kit. The EVAL-SDP-CS1Z allows software programming of
the ADF5901 device.
Full specifications on the ADF5901 are available in the ADF5901
data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction with this
user guide when working with the evaluation board.
