Evaluation Board for the ADF5904 4-Channel, 24 GHz Receiver Downconverter
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Contains ADF5904 4-channel, 24 GHz receiver downconverter
Accompanying software allows control of ADF5904 functions
from a PC
The EV-ADF5904SD2Z evaluation board allows the user to
evaluate the performance of the ADF5904 24 GHz receiver
downconverter. Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the
ADF5904, five high frequency SMA connectors for the local
oscillator (LO) input, four receiver (Rx) inputs, eight SMA
connectors for the baseband outputs, banana connectors for
power supply, and a connector for serial interface.
EVALUATION KIT CONTENTS
EV-ADF5904SD2Z evaluation board
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
The evaluation kit also contains software that is compatible with
Windows® XP and later versions to allow easy programming of
the device.
PC running Windows XP or more recent version
Analog Devices, Inc., EVAL-SDP-CS1Z system demonstration
platform-serial (SDP-S) board
Spectrum analyzer (optional)
Oscilloscope
5 V power supplies
USB cable
This evaluation board requires an EVAL-SDP-CS1Z SDP-S
board (not supplied with the kit). The SDP-S board allows
software programming of the ADF5904 device.
Full specifications on the ADF5904 are available in the product
data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction with this
user guide when working with the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The evaluation board requires an SDP-S motherboard to
program the device. The SDP-S board is not included and must
be purchased separately. The EV-ADF5904SD2Z schematics are
shown in Figure 5 to Figure 9. The top layer and assembly layout
are shown in Figure 10.
POWER SUPPLIES
The evaluation board is powered via one external supply, 5 V
connected as described in the Quick Start Guide section.
INPUT SIGNALS
The LO input pin and the Rx input pins on the ADF5904
contain a dc bias voltage; the inputs must be ac-coupled to the
evaluation board.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
The baseband outputs from the ADF5904 contain dc bias
voltages and are available on the J3 to J11 output SMAs.
