EVALUATION BOARD SETUP EQUIPMENT
POWER SUPPLY
The ADL6012-EVALZ requires a single 5 V power supply. An
external Agilent E3631A power supply is acceptable to use to
power the ADL6012-EVALZ with current consumption around
33 mA. The
can be disabled with the DIS jumper.

RF INPUT
The Agilent E8257D analog signal generator is acceptable to use
to generate a continuous wave (CW) signal up to 67 GHz and
provide the CW signal source to the ADL6012-EVALZ. The
RFIN connector on the ADL6012-EVALZ is 1.85 mm, rated up
to 67 GHz, and can be directly connected to the Agilent E8257D
signal generator.
HIGH SPEED OSCILLOSCOPE
The Keysight MSOS254A high speed oscilloscope is acceptable
to use to accurately measure the rise and fall times of the
The Keysight MSOS254A oscilloscope must have a bandwidth
of 2 GHz or higher to accurately measure the
response. The amplitude modulation (AM) signal and the pulse
modulated RF signal can be measured with a differential probe
at the envelope outputs with the high speed oscilloscope (see
Figure 3). The Agilent 1331A differential probe is acceptable
to use. If a differential probe is not available, connect the VEH−
and VEH+ Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors to the
Keysight MSOS254A oscilloscope with 50 Ω, impedance controlled
RF cables terminated with 50 Ω at the oscilloscope inputs (see
Figure 4). Ensure that both RF cables are less than 2 inches in
length to minimize reflections.
DC VOLTMETER
The Agilent 34401A dc voltmeter is acceptable to use to measure
the constant envelope voltage across the VEH+ and VEH− test
points. This voltage is the differential output voltage measured
when the RF input is a CW with a constant envelope.
