Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated SC1905 Development Board

Analog Devices SC1905 Development Board is designed to evaluate the SC1905 power amplifier. This evaluation kit provides the hardware and software Graphical User Interface (GUI) necessary to evaluate the SC1905 power amplifier. The SC1905 amplifier is a pin-compatible upgrade of the SC1894 RF PA Linearizer (RFPAL) that supports signal bandwidths up to 100MHz. This development board operates from the 3300MHz to 3800MHz frequency range. Applications include 4G and 5G cellular infrastructure, repeaters, small cells, microcells, and picocells.
