Figure 51. Image Rejection Calibration Using the Internal Calibration Source and a Microcontroller
The calibration results are valid over changes in the ADF7021-V
supply voltage. However, there is some variation with temperature.
A typical plot of variation in image rejection over temperature
after initial calibrations at −40°C, +25°C, and +85°C is shown in
Figure 52. The internal temperature sensor on the ADF7021-V
can be used to determine whether a new IR calibration is required.

PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP
Table 23 lists the minimum number of writes needed to set up
the ADF7021-V in either Tx or Rx mode after CE is brought
high for a minimum of 100 μs before programming any register.
Additional registers can also be written to tailor the part to a
particular application, such as setting up sync byte detection
or enabling AFC. When going from Tx to Rx or vice versa, the
user needs to toggle the Tx/Rx bit and write only to Register 0
to alter the LO by 100 kHz.
