GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ and the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ are
the two evaluation boards available for the
work in inphase/quadrature (I/Q) mode and intermediate
frequency (IF) mode, respectively. Both boards incorporate the
ADMV4530
Ka band upconverter with low dropout (LDO)
regulators and an interface to the
controller board to allow the simple and efficient evaluation of
the ADMV4530. The on-board LDO regulators allow the
ADMV4530
to be powered on by a single supply.
The
ADMV4530
is a highly integrated upconverter with an
I/Q mixer that is ideally suited for next generation Ka band
satellite communications. The chip can be programmed using a
4-wire serial port interface (SPI). The
