If External Clocking is Used (Optional)

Connect a signal generator to the DEVCLK input of the EVM through a bandpass filter. This signal generator must be a low-noise signal generator. TI recommends a Trilithic-tunable bandpass filter to filter the signal coming from the generator. Configure the signal generator for the desired clock frequency in the range of 0.8 to 3.2 GHz. For best performance when using an RF signal generator, the power input to the CLK SMA connector must be 9 dBm (2.2 Vpp into 50 Ω). The signal generator must increase above 9 dB by an amount equal to any additional attenuation in the clock signal path, such as the insertion loss of the bandpass filter. For example, if the filter insertion loss is 2 dB, the signal generator must be set to 9 dBm + 2 dB = 11 dBm.
