GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the
performance of the ADF4150HV frequency synthesizer for
phase-locked loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which
contains the
control oscillator (VCO) of 1 GHz to 2 GHz octave range and
up to 28 V high tuning voltage, reference oscillator (TCXO)
of 25 MHz frequency for the reference input, power supply
connectors, and an RF output. The ADF5001 prescaler allows
for optional direct connection of external microwave VCOs
without the need for an active loop filter.
The evaluation kit also contains software that is compatible with
Windows® XP and later versions to allow easy programming of
the synthesizer.
A USB port in the PC is required to program the part.
