Chapter 2 Evaluation Board Layout and Schematic The MC13853 LNA is mounted in a multi-layer evaluation board. The top view is shown in Figure 2-1 the schematic is located in the MC13853 Data Sheet (document number: MC13853/D). NOTE Refer to the location of RF coaxial connectors, DC and control connecting points via headers and the grounding banana jacks.
Overview To test and evaluate the performance of the MC13853 LNA on its EVB environment, a test plan and a test equipment bench set-up in the lab is necessary. A basic test plan can be made by following the MC13853 data sheet and obtaining the same measured parameters.
