Hardware Setup of Multiple Transceiver Synchronization

The proposed LMX2820 clocking solution is interfaced with two AFE7950EVMs and two TSW14J56EVM capture cards to show the synchronization between multiple AFE7950 devices. Figure 2-2 shows the overall block diagram of the multiple transceiver synchronized system.
