    TRF1208 Evaluation Module ABSTRACT The basic steps and functions that are required to ensure the proper operation and quick setup of the TRF1208- EVM. This document also includes a schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and test block diagrams is outlined in this document. Throughout this document, the abbreviations EVM, TRF1208 EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the TRF1208-EVM, unless otherwise noted.
  • Page 2: Description

    1 Description The TRF1208 evaluation module (EVM) is used to evaluate the TRF1208 device, which is a single-ended input to differential output RF amplifier available in a 2 × 2-mm , 12-pin WQFN package. The device is designed to drive a high-speed differential input ADC without using a passive balun.
  • Page 3 When measuring single tone distortion, use an RF band pass filter as shown in Figure 1-1. b. The RF signal generator used must support up to 12-GHz signal frequency for testing out the TRF1208 EVM. c. The TRF1208 device input is 50-Ω in the pass-band.

    3. Make sure the frequency sweep and output power level from the VNA is set within the linear operating range of the TRF1208 devices. The resolution bandwidth (RBW) and dynamic range of the VNA can be adjusted to give optimum sweep time for the measurement.

    4. If the loss after the device output is significant, it is important to factor the output loss into the NF measurement. Use the Friis equation to calculate the Noise Figure of the device from the total measured NF.

    ) at the device. 3. We recommend that the output power level is within the linear operation range of the TRF1208 device. For example, if the total desired output power at the device is 8 dBm, then set the signal generators such that each of the fundamental output power results in 2 dBm per tone.
