The MAX2370 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the testing
and evaluation of the MAX2370 quadrature transmitter.
The EV kit provides 50 SMA connectors for all RF inputs and outputs. A varactor-based tank circuit is
provided for the on-chip IF voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) and phase locked with an on-chip PLL. I/Q baseband
inputs come with standard BNC connectors.
The EV kit allows evaluation of the MAX2370 I/Q modulator,
IF VGA, RF upconverter, IF VCO, dual synthesizer,
3-wire programming interface, and power-management
features.
