EVAL01-HMC197BE

The EVAL01-HMC197BE is a high performance integrated RF evaluation and development kit, designed mainly to evaluate performance of the HMC197BE high linearity RF amplifier. The EVAL01-HMC197BE board features an integrated HMC197BE input/output stage providing high performance up to 20 GHz band. The kit is suitable for wide range of applications such as wireless and digital communication, aerospace, defence, digital imaging, radar and so on.

The EVAL01-HMC197BE kit includes the evaluation board, two automatically adjustable oscillators, two programmable attenuators, one high performance RF signal generator, one power supply, and one voltage regulator. The automatically adjustable oscillators offer high performance frequency tuning up to 20 GHz, enabling Windows/Linux based tuning flexibility with an integrated GUI (Graphical User Interface). The programmable attenuators provide up to 90 dB of linear attenuation with 1 dB of resolution, enabling high performance linearity measurements.

The high performance RF signal generator provides excellent dynamic range over wide frequency ranges such as VHF, UHF, and microwave. The power supply and voltage regulator ensure reliable and stable operation of the system.

The working principle of the EVAL01-HMC197BE is based on the use of an integrated HMC197BE input/output stage to provide high performance up to 20 GHz band. The integrated input stage consists of two matched bipolar transistors (Q1 &Q2). The output stage consists of two matched MOSFETs (Q3 & Q4). The automatically adjustable oscillators enable Windows/Linux based tuning flexibility with an integrated GUI (Graphical User Interface). The programmable attenuators provide up to 90 dB of linear attenuation with 1 dB of resolution, enabling high performance linearity measurements.

In addition, the kit provides high performance testing features such as RF gain margin, linearity, DC offset and over-temperature performance. Moreover, the kit provides Windows/Linux based tuning flexibility with an integrated GUI to configure and set up the tests. Furthermore, the power supply and voltage regulator ensure reliable and stable operation of the system.

Therefore, the EVAL01-HMC197BE kit is ideal for RF evaluation and development applications including wireless and digital communication, aerospace, defence, digital imaging, radar and so on. The HMC197BE high linearity RF amplifier offers excellent performance and stability in a wide range of applications. It is highly recommended for use in a variety of applications where high linearity and wide operating frequency are needed, such as wireless communication, digital communication, aerospace, defence, digital imaging, radar and so on.
