This document is an evaluation board user guide for the ADF4360-2 integrated PLL and VCO frequency synthesizer. It introduces the functions and features of the evaluation board, including a self-contained RF frequency generator, flexibility for reference input, PFD frequency and loop bandwidth, as well as USB/battery-operated 9V power.
The document provides a user guide for the ADF4360-2EBZ1 evaluation board, which is designed to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-2 integrated PLL and VCO frequency synthesizer. The board includes the ADF4360-2BCPZ chip, USB connectivity, SMA connectors for RF outputs, and a passive loop filter.
| Reference Input Frequency | 10 MHz |
|---|---|
| Typical Phase Noise Performance | -141 dBc/Hz at 3 MHz offset |
| Typical Spurious Performance | -70 dBc at 200 kHz offset (2.0 GHz output) |
| Loop Filter Center Frequency | 2000 MHz |
The board can be powered from a single 9 V battery or from the USB supply.
The board is designed to allow users to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-2 frequency synthesizer.
The board can be powered from a single 9 V battery or from the USB supply by changing Switch SW1.
The reference TCXO on the evaluation board runs at 10 MHz.
