Analog Devices Inc. ADAR4002-EVALZ Evaluation Board
Analog Devices ADAR4002-EVALZ Evaluation Board enables users to test all the functions and features offered by the ADAR4002 chip, including variable gain, variable time delay, and both digital modes [serial peripheral interface (SPI) and shift register]. RF signal traces are designed as a 50Ω coplanar waveguide and are connected to the RF1 and RF2 ports of the device, providing simple interfacing with test equipment or other printed circuit boards (PCBs). The Analog Devices EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S) controller board programs the SPI port or shift register using the ADAR4002 ACE plug-in.
Features
- Standard single-ended 50Ω interfacing
- Supply voltage easily applied to test loops or headers
- SPI signals available on the P1 and P10 headers
Applications
- Electronic steerable antenna arrays
