The ADF4360-1EBZ1 evaluation board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-1 frequency synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO. It contains the ADF4360-1BCPZ, a USB connector, and SMA connectors for the RF outputs.
The ADF4360-1EBZ1 evaluation board is designed to allow users to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-1 integrated PLL and VCO frequency synthesizer. The board features a self-contained design for generating RF frequencies, including a 10 MHz TCXO reference, and provides flexibility for reference input, PFD frequency, and loop bandwidth adjustments. It includes a USB connector for PC connectivity and SMA connectors for RF outputs.
| Typical phase noise performance | -141 dBc/Hz at 3 MHz offset |
|---|---|
| Typical spurious performance | -70 dBc at 200 kHz offset (2.0 GHz output) |
| Reference input | 10 MHz TCXO from Fox Electronics |
| Loop filter center frequency | 2250 MHz |
| PFD frequency | 200 kHz |
| Low-pass filter bandwidth | 10 kHz |
The board is powered from a single 9 V battery or from the USB supply by changing the position of Switch SW1.
The reference TCXO on the evaluation board runs at 10 MHz.
