ADL5961-KIT-EVALZ

ADL5961-KIT-EVALZ is an evaluation kit that allows evaluation of ADL5961 vector network analyser (VNA) front-end IC. The ADL5961 with integrated bridge derives inline incident and reflected power samples at up to 26.5GHz, while maintaining low insertion loss, approximately 1dB to 2dB depending on frequency. Integrated mixers downconvert the incident and reflected samples to IF while preserving phase information. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) port provides access to programmable local oscillator (LO) and offset mixer versatility features, plus programmable IF gain and bandwidth. For optimal performance, the printed circuit board (PCB) RF transmission lines are 50 ohm controlled impedance on Rogers RO3003 low loss substrate material. The board requires a 5V power supply with a recommended minimum current rating of 500mA. An external 3.3V for OVDD is not needed because this voltage is supplied by the DC2026C Linduino One board.

• Full featured evaluation board for the ADL5961
• Integrated bidirectional bridge measures forward-coupled and reverse-coupled signal
• ADL5960 evaluation software GUI can be used for ADL5961 test and demonstration purposes
