GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the performance of the ADF4213 Dual Frequency Synthesizer for PLLs (Phase Locked Loops). The block diagram of the board is shown below. It contains the ADF4213 synthesizer, a pc connector, SMA connector for the reference input, power supplies and RF and IF output. There is also a loop filter for both sides (20kHz bandwidth) and an RF and IF VCO on board. A cable is included with the board to connect to a pc printer port.

The package also contains windows software to allow easy programming of the synthesizer.
