7.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Select an RF DAC such as the DAC39RF10-SP for this application because the DAC supports sampling at 10GSPS and the required RF signal frequency range of 4GHz. The DAC39RF10-SP outputs a signal level of –0.4dBm at 2GHz when operated at –1dBFS. The TRF0108-SP has a gain of 15.2dB and OP1dB of 11.4dBm at 2GHz; therefore, add an 8.8dB attenuator pad at the output of the DAC to get 6dBm output power. A 5GHz low-pass filter can optionally be added to reject the DAC images in the second Nyquist zone. From the TRF0108-SP specifications, the device meets the design requirement of output return loss.

Table 7-2 shows the component values for attenuator and low-pass filter for the design.
