2.1.7 Turn On the Signal Generators

  1. Turn on the output of the low phase noise RF signal generator and connect to DAC CLKp (J6) via the SMA cable. Set the signal generator to 10.24GHz at a +6dBm output level.
  2. Turn on the output of the RF signal generator and connect to REF_CLK (J8) via the SMA cable.
  3. Set the signal generator to 160MHz at a +6dBm output level. Using another SMA cable, connect it to OUTAp (J1), the output of the DAC to a spectrum analyzer.
Note: The max clock rate supported by DAC39RF12EVM is 12GHz
