CHARACTERIZATION SETUPS

Figure 50 to Figure 52 show the general characterization bench

setups used extensively for the ADRF6807. The setup shown in

Figure 50 was used to perform the bulk of the testing. An automated

Agilent VEE program was used to control the equipment over the

IEEE bus. This setup was used to measure gain, input P1dB, output

P1dB, input IP2, input IP3, IQ gain mismatch, IQ quadrature

accuracy, and supply current. The evaluation board was used to

perform the characterization with a Mini-Circuits TCM9-1+ balun

on each of the I and Q outputs. When using the TCM9-1+ balun

below 5 MHz (the specified 1 dB low frequency corner of the

balun), distortion performance degrades; however, this is not

the ADRF6807 degrading, merely the low frequency corner of

the balun introducing distortion effects. Through this balun, the

9-to-1 impedance transformation effectively presented a 450 Ω

differential load at each of the I and Q channels. The use of the

broadband Mini-Circuits ADTL2-18+ balun on the input

provided a differential balanced RF input. The losses of both

the input and output baluns were de-embedded from all

measurements.

To perform phase noise and reference spur measurements, the

setup shown in Figure 52 was used. Phase noise was measured

at the baseband output (I or Q) at a baseband carrier frequency

of 50 MHz. The baseband carrier of 50 MHz was chosen to allow

phase noise measurements to be taken at frequencies of up to

20 MHz offset from the carrier. The noise figure was measured

using the setup shown in Figure 51 at a baseband frequency

of 10 MHz.
