GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ and the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ are
the two evaluation boards available for the
that
work in inphase/quadrature (I/Q) mode and intermediate
frequency (IF) mode, respectively. Both boards incorporate the
Ka band upconverter with low dropout (LDO)
regulators and an interface to the
)
controller board to allow the simple and efficient evaluation of
the
. The on-board LDO regulators allow the
to be powered on by a single supply.
The
is a highly integrated upconverter with an
I/Q mixer that is ideally suited for next generation Ka band
satellite communications. The chip can be programmed using a
4-wire serial port interface (SPI). The
