PERFORMING EVALUATION
ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ OR ADMV4530IF-EVALZ
QUICK START
To set up the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the ADMV4530IF-
EVALZ evaluation board, take the following steps:
1.
Connect the
to the 120-pin connector on the
ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ
evaluation board.
2.
Connect a USB cable to the PC and then to the
3.
Connect a 5 V dc power supply to the 5V and GND1 test
points. Alternatively, the power supply can be connected
to the VSUPPLY SMA port. The power supply current
limit must be set to 800 mA.
4.
Connect the reference input signal generator to the
REF_IN port on the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the
ADMV4530IF-EVALZ evaluation board. Ensure that the
board is set to the desired reference input frequency and
power level.
5.
Depending on which board is being evaluated, connect the
signal generator for either IF input or I/Q inputs.
6.
Connect a spectrum analyzer (or similar instrument) to
the RFOUT port.
7.
Open the
software. The
ADMV4530 Board
appears
in the
Attached Hardware
section. Double-click on the
plug-in to see the chip plug-in
ADMV4530
on screen.
8.
Use the
Initial Configuration
in the
initialize the chip. Be sure to select the correct mixer mode
of operation, either IF or I/Q mode. Additionally, set the
desired PLL configuration settings, and then click
Apply
in
the
Initial Configuration
SIGNAL GENERATOR SETTINGS
When evaluating the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ, a good starting
point for configuring the signal generator inputs is as follows:
Reference input frequency = 200 MHz
Reference input power = 8 dBm
I/Q input frequency = 25 MHz
I/Q common mode voltage = 0.5 V
In-phase (negative) IN input power = −16 dBm
In-phase (positive) IP input power = −16 dBm
Quadrature (positive) QP input power = −16 dBm
Quadrature (negative) QP input power = −16 dBm
When evaluating the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ, a good starting
point for configuring the signal generator inputs is as follows:
Reference input frequency = 200 MHz
Reference input power = 8 dBm
IF input frequency = 2.5 GHz
IF input power = −40 dBm
