Overview

The EVAL-CN0285-EB1Z is a complete circuit evaluation board designed to demonstrate a broadband, low Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) direct conversion transmitter. It features a high-performance RF signal chain including an ADRF6755 modulator with integrated PLL and VCO, supported by ultralow noise voltage regulators to maintain signal integrity.

Why Choose This Part

The board minimizes design complexity by integrating a 25 MHz TCXO reference and high-PSRR regulators that allow the system to operate from a single 5V supply. Its direct conversion architecture reduces the need for multiple IF stages and SAW filters, significantly lowering the bill of materials for broadband RF designs.

Applications

QAM Modulated Transmitters
Prototyping high-order quadrature amplitude modulation systems requiring minimal phase noise and low EVM.
Point-to-Point Microwave Links
Development of broadband wireless backhaul equipment operating in the RF frequency range.
Software Defined Radio (SDR)
Acting as the analog front-end for high-performance transmit paths in custom SDR platforms.

Getting Started

Connect the board to a PC via the USB interface to control the onboard ADRF6755 registers using the provided Analog Devices evaluation software. Power the system with a 5V supply and provide I/Q differential signals to the SMA inputs to begin measuring transmitter performance at the RF output.
