Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-CN0417-EBZ 2.4GHz RF Power Amplifier
Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-CN0417-EBZ USB Powered 2.4GHz RF Power Amplifier is optimized for 2400MHz operation. The amplifier typically provides 20dB of gain through its RF band of operation, boosting signals for various communication protocols such as ISM, MC-GSM, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, and LTE. It requires a 5V USB supply for normal operation. Both populated with edge-mounted SMA connectors, the input and output are dc blocked and matched to 50Ω for ease of use.
Included in the Analog Devices EVAL-CN0417-EBZ are the ADL5606 and the LTM8045. The ADL5606 is a broadband, two-stage, 1W RF driver amplifier that operates over a frequency range of 1800MHz to 2700MHz. The device can be used in many wired and wireless communication protocols, including ISM, MC-GSM, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, and LTE. The LTM8045 is an integrated switching DC/DC converter that contains a current-mode controller, power-switching element, power coupled inductor, power Schottky diode, and a modest amount of input and output capacitance. It can be configured as a SEPIC or inverting converter by simply grounding the appropriate output rail.
The EVAL-CN0417-EBZ board connects through SMA and is powered by the bus voltage from the USB port.
