EVM Test Procedure
3.1
Single-Tone Output Power Test
1. Connect power supplies:
•
Set V
supply to 3.3 V and set the current limit to 500 mA.
CC
•
Connect the V
2. Use a suitable 50-Ω output signal generator to supply the LO signal with 0 dBm with the cable loss
compensated and the desired frequency f
3. Use a digital-to-analog converter or an arbitrary waveform generator to provide I/Q input signals. A
typical setup is as follows: a 1-Vpp sinusoidal wave in differential mode for both I and Q signals with a
frequency of f
, a dc offset of 0.25 V, and an output impedance of 50 Ω. Use an Agilent E4438C vector
1
signal generator to provide I/Q signals in the following example.
•
Press Preset.
•
Press Mode → More (1 of 2) → Multitone.
•
Press Initialize Table → Number of Tones → 12 → Enter.
•
Press Freq Spacing → 1 → MHz.
•
Press Done.
•
Highlight each row of the first 11 rows, and press Toggle State to turn the selected tone off; keep
only the last row with the BB frequency of 5.5 MHz. Now, 5.5-MHz, single-tone, BB I/Q signals are
configured for E4438C.
•
Press Multitone Off/On until On is highlighted to generate the multitone waveform.
•
Connect I signals to J4 (I+) and J3 (I–), and the Q signals to J5 (Q–) and J6 (Q+).
•
Adjust the differential I or Q voltage level to be 1 Vpp by pressing Mode → I/Q → I/Q Output
Control → I/Q Output Atten → enter 9 → Press dB. The voltage can be measured by an
oscilloscope. Note that the differential voltage is twice the single-ended voltage.
•
Set the common-mode voltage (CMV) of E4438A to 0.25 V by pressing Mode → I/Q → I/Q Output
Control → Common Mode I/Q Offset → 250 → mV. Use a dc voltage meter to monitor the dc
common voltage at the inputs of I and Q, and fine-tune the CMV setting until it is measured to be
250 mV.
4. Verify that jumper connection of pin 2 and pin 3 on JP2 to set device in low gain mode
5. Verify that jumper connection of pin 2 and pin 3 at JP1 to ensure that power down is not engaged.
6. Monitor Vcc at TP1 to ensure that Vcc is 3.3 V. Verify that the current draw is about 305 mA ± 15 mA.
7. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the SMA connector marked RFOUT (J7), and measure the TRF37T05
output power at f
loss is compensated.
