2.1 Recommended Test Environment

  • Power supply at 5.5V, 5A maximum for the AFE7952 EVM.
  • Power supply at 5.5V, 5A maximum for the TSW14J58 EVM.
  • A Windows PC that supports USB 3.0 for fast file transfer from ADC capture and DAC pattern loading.
  • High-quality RF signal generator that supports RF frequency of interest for evaluation. The example set-up uses Keysight™ PSG series of signal generator.
  • High-quality RF spectrum analyzer that supports RF frequency of interest for evaluation. The example set-up uses a Rohde & Schwarz™ FSQ-26 series of spectrum analyzer.
