ADL5961-EVALZ

ADL5961-EVALZ evaluation board allows evaluation of the ADL5961 vector network analyser (VNA) front-end IC. The ADL5961 with integrated bridge derives inline incident and reflected power samples at up to 26.5GHz, while maintaining low insertion loss, approximately 1dB to 2dB depending on frequency. Integrated mixers downconvert the incident and reflected samples to IF while preserving phase information. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) port provides access to programmable local oscillator (LO) and offset mixer versatility features, plus programmable IF gain and bandwidth. For optimal performance, the printed circuit board (PCB) RF transmission lines are 50 ohm-controlled impedance on Rogers RO3003 low loss substrate material.
