This is an evaluation board user guide for the ADF4150HV PLL frequency synthesizer. The evaluation board includes a frequency synthesizer, loop filter, and TCXO, and comes with software for controlling the board. The frequency synthesizer has a frequency range of 500 MHz to 3 GHz.
The document is a user guide for the EVAL-ADF4150HVEB1Z evaluation board. This board is designed to evaluate the performance of the ADF4150HV phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer, including its octave range voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and loop filter.
The guide details hardware setup, including power supply connections for 30 V and 5 V inputs. It covers default operation settings, additional options such as using an external microwave VCO with the ADF5001 prescaler, and procedures for measuring phase noise.
The Analog Devices ADF4150HV software (Version 2 or higher) and ADIsimPLL are required.
The default octave range VCO has a frequency range from 1 GHz to 2 GHz.
The board includes a TCXO that provides a reference frequency of 25 MHz.
