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 (J7) by SMA cable. Set the signal generator to 20GHz at a +6dBm output level.
  2. Turn on the output of the RF signal generator and connect to REF_CLK (J5) by SMA cable.
  3. Set the signal generator to 1250MHz at a +6dBm output level. Using another SMA cable, connect to OUTAp (J15), which is the output of the DAC to a spectrum analyzer.
Note: The max clock rate supported by DAC39RF20EVM is 22GHz.
