The LMX2594 evaluation module (EVM) is a platform for evaluating the phase-synchronization (PS) feature of the LMX2594 wideband RF synthesizer. LMX2594PSEVM contains two LMX2594 parts that share the same reference clock.
After phase synchronization, the phase of the parts' outputs can be measured and compared. The EVM also contain a radio-frequency (RF) power combiner, which can be used to combine two phase-synchronized outputs to a single output with reduced phase noise.
Features
- Two LMX2594 on board share same reference clock and SYNC signal
- Extremely short RF output traces eliminate PCB trace-length deskew
- Independent low-dropout (LDO) power supply eliminates crosstalk through power-supply lines
- Supports reduced phase noise verification with onboard RF-power combiner
