The ADL5350-EVALZ is an evaluation board for the device ADL5350. This is a fully populated, 4-layer, FR4 based evaluation board. The board has two halves a low band board designated as board A for 850MHz down converting evaluation, and a high band board designated as board B for 1950MHz down converting evaluation. Each half of the board requires a 3V/19mA power supply for normal operation. The 3V power supply should be connected to the clip leads VPOS-A, VPOS-B, GND-A and GND-B. All signal ports are populated with edge mounted SMA connectors. RF-A, RF-B, LO-A, and LO-B are RF and LO input ports of each half. IF-A and IF-B are the output ports of each half. The evaluation board also provides the prototype area. The ADL5350 is a high linearity, up-and-down converting mixer capable of operating over a broad input frequency range. It is well suited for demanding cellular base-station mixer designs that require high sensitivity and effective blocker immunity.
