2 / 8 page MAX2021 Evaluation Kit 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Quick Start The MAX2021 EV kit is fully assembled and factory test- ed. Follow the instructions in the Connections and Setup section for proper device evaluation as an upconverter. Test Equipment Required This section lists the recommended test equipment to verify the operation of the MAX2021 as an upconverter. It is intended as a guide only, and substitutions may be possible. • One DC supply capable of delivering +5.0V and 350mA • One low-noise RF signal generator capable of deliv- ering 10dBm of output power in the 1GHz to 3GHz frequency range (i.e., HP 8648) • One I/Q generator capable of producing two differ- ential 1MHz sine waves, 90° out-of-phase with each other, with a 1.4VP-P differential amplitude • One quad-channel oscilloscope with a 100MHz minimum bandwidth • Low-capacitance oscilloscope probes • One RF spectrum analyzer with a 100kHz to 3GHz frequency range (HP 8561E) • One RF power meter (HP 437B) • One power sensor (HP 8482A) Connections and Setup This section provides a step-by-step guide to testing the basic functionality of the EV kit as an upconverter. As a general precaution to prevent damaging the outputs by driving high VSWR loads, do not turn on DC power or RF signal generators until all connections are made. This upconverter procedure is general to operation with an I/Q baseband input signal at 1MHz. Choose the test frequency based on the particular system’s frequency plan and adjust the following procedure accordingly. See Figure 2 for the test setup diagram. 1) Calibrate the power meter. For safety margin, use a power sensor rated to at least +20dBm, or use padding to protect the power head as necessary. 2) Connect a 3dB pad to the DUT end of the RF signal generators’ SMA cable. This padding improves VSWR and reduces the errors due to mismatch. 3) Use the power meter to set the RF signal generators according to the following: • LO signal source: 0dBm into DUT at 900MHz (this will be approximately 3dBm before the 3dB pad). Use an oscilloscope to calibrate the baseband I/Q differential inputs to the following: • Use a signal source where I+, I-, Q+, and Q- are all 50Ω single-ended outputs. Load the I+/I- ports and Q+/Q- ports with 50Ω differential loads. Set the voltage across the 50Ω differen- tial loads to be 1.4VP-P differential. Remove the 50Ω differential loads. Note that the DUT’s I+/I- and Q+/Q- port impedances will provide the differential loading in Step 10. 4) Disable the signal generator outputs. 5) Connect the I/Q source to the differential I/Q ports. 6) Connect the LO source to the EV kit LO input. 7) Measure the loss in the 3dB pad and cable that will be connected to the RF port. Losses are frequency dependent, so test this at 900MHz (the RF frequency). Use this loss as an offset in all output power/gain calculations. 8) Connect this 3dB pad to the EV kit’s RF port con- nector and connect a cable from the pad to the spectrum analyzer. 9) Set DC supply to +5.0V, and set a current limit around 350mA, if possible. Disable the output volt- age and connect the supply to the EV kit (through an ammeter, if desired). Enable the supply. Readjust the supply to get +5.0V at the EV kit. A voltage drop occurs across the ammeter when the device is drawing current. 10) Enable the LO and the I/Q sources. Testing the Direct Upconverter Adjust the center and span of the spectrum analyzer to 900MHz and 5MHz, respectively. The LO leakage appears at 900MHz and there are two sidebands at 899MHz and 901MHz (LSB and USB). One of the side- bands is the selected RF signal, while the second is the image. Depending on whether the Q channel is 90 degrees advanced or 90 degrees delayed from the I channel determines which sideband is selected and Component Suppliers SUPPLIER PHONE WEBSITE Johnson 507-833-8822 www.johnsoncomponents.com M/A-Com 800-366-2266 www.macom.com Murata 770-436-1300 www.murata.com Note: Indicate that you are using the MAX2021 when contacting these component suppliers. |
