    LMH9235RRL-EVM. This document also includes a schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and test block diagrams. Throughout this document, the abbreviations EVM, LMH9235 EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the LMH9235RRL-EVM, unless otherwise noted.
  • Page 2: Description

    Description www.ti.com Description The LMH9235 evaluation module (EVM) is used to evaluate the LMH9235 device, which is a single-ended input to differential output RF gain block amplifier available in a 2 × 2-mm , 12-pin RRL package. The device is well-suited to support requirements for the next generation 5G m-MIMO active antenna system while interfacing with the input of transceiver.
  • Page 3 Description www.ti.com a. Short terminals 1 and 2 on J5 to put the LMH9235 device in its power down state. The supply current (I ) drawn should be < 15 mA. 3. Single tone measurement setup recommendation: a. Connect an RF signal generator to input J3 SMA connector.

    2. Before connecting the RF coax cables to the LMH9235 EVM, you must calibrate the VNA along with the cables using a calibration kit. This accounts for any cable losses in the S-parameter calculation at the VNA and helps set reference impedance at the cable ends.

    ) at the device. 3. TI recommends that the output power level is within the linear operation range of the LMH9235 device. For example, if the total desired output power at the device is 8 dBm, then set the signal generators such that each of the fundamental output power results in 2 dBm per tone.
