ISOLATION TECHNIQUES USED ON THE ADRV9001 EVALUATION CARD
Given the density of sensitive and critical signals, there are significant isolation challenges when designing a PCB for the ADRV9001.
Follow the isolation requirements listed in
aggressor-to-victim isolation in a system is very complex and involves considering vector combinations of aggressor signals and coupling
mechanisms.
Isolation Goals
Table 123 lists the isolation targets for each RF channel-to-channel combination type. To meet these goals with significant margin, isolation
structures are designed into the ADRV9001 evaluation board.

Isolation Between RF I/O Ports
The following are the primary coupling mechanisms between the RF I/O paths on the evaluation board:
Magnetic field coupling
►
Surface propagation
►
Cross-domain coupling through ground
►
There are several strategies to reduce the impact of these coupling mechanisms on the ADRV9001 customer evaluation. Open large slots in
the ground plane between the RF I/O paths. These discontinuities prevent surface propagation. These structures consist of a combination of
slots and square apertures. Both structures are present on every copper layer of the PCB stack. The advantage of using square apertures is
