Description
RFC RF common port
RF1 RF Throw Port 1
RF2 RF Throw Port 2
RF3 RF Throw Port 3
RF4 RF Throw Port 4
THRU1 Thru line input and output
THRU2 Thru line input and output
The through calibration line, connecting the THRU1 and THRU2
RF connectors, calibrates out the board loss effects from the
measurements of the ADRF5345-EVALZ to determine the device
performance at the pins of the IC. Figure 3 shows the typical board
loss for the ADRF5345-EVALZ at room temperature, as well as the
embedded and de-embedded insertion loss for the ADRF5345 .
