The MAX2820/MAX2821 evaluation kits simplify testing of the MAX2820/MAX2821. The EV kits provide 50Ω SMA connectors for all RF and baseband inputs and outputs. Differential-to-single-ended and single-ended-to-differential line drivers are provided to convert the differential I/Q baseband inputs and outputs to single ended. The EV kits simplify evaluation of the MAX2820/MAX2821s’ receive and transmit performance in 802.11b applications operating in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band.
