Quick Start
The MAX2900
–
MAX2904 EV kits are fully assembled
and factory tested. Follow the instructions in the
Connections and Setup
section.
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the recommended test equipment to veri-
fy the operation of the MAX2900
–
MAX2904. It is intended
as a guide only, and substitutions may be possible.
One RF signal generator capable of delivering
quency range (HP 8648A or equivalent) for the PLL
reference frequency.
An RF spectrum analyzer capable of measuring a
7GHz RF signal (Rohde and Schwarz FSEA20 or
equivalent).
An RF power meter capable of measuring 30dBm
output power (HP 437B or equivalent) with an RF
high-power sensor.
A vector signal analyzer (AG 89441 or equivalent)
An RF network analyzer (HP 8753E or equivalent)
A power supply that can provide 250mA at +5.0V
(AG E3631A or equivalent)
Optionally, an additional voltage source for VCO tun-
ing voltage
A 20dB RF attenuator
An arbitrary waveform generator (HP E4433B or
equivalent)
