Evaluating the ADF4150HV PLL Frequency Synthesizer

Overview

TopologyOther Topology

Description

This evaluation board allows you to evaluate the performance of the ADF4150HV frequency synthesizer for phase-locked loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the ADF4150HV synthesizer, a loop filter, a 1 GHz to 2 GHz octave range VCO, 28 V high tuning voltage, a 25 MHz TCXO for the reference input, power supply connectors, and an RF output.The ADF5001 prescaler allows optional direct connection ofexternal microwave VCOs without the need for an active loop filter. A USB cable is included to connect the board to a PC USB port. In addition, the evaluation kit contains Windows®-basedsoftware to allow easy programming of the synthesizer.
