ADL8154-EVALZ Evaluation Board for ADL8154

Analog Devices ADL8154-EVALZ Evaluation Board for ADL8154 is a 4-layer printed circuit board (PCB) fabricated from a 10mil-thick (0.25mm) Rogers 4350B and Isola 370HR copper clad, forming a nominal thickness of 62mils (1.57mm). The RF_IN and RF_OUT ports on the ADL8154-EVALZ are populated with 2.92mm female coaxial connectors, and the corresponding RF_IN and RF_OUT traces have a 50Ω characteristic impedance. The ADL8154-EVALZ is populated with components suitable for use over the entire -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range of the ADL8154. THRUCAL (J1 and J2) must be populated with RF connectors to use the through calibration path. The calibration path includes two AC coupling capacitors (C11 and C12), which must be populated to mimic the AC coupling capacitors in the main signal path.
