HMC8200 RF Transmitter Evaluation Board

Evaluation Board for HMC8200, Intermediate Frequency Transmitter 800MHz to 4000MHz

The Evaluation Board for the HMC8200LP5ME transmitter converts the 300 MHz to 400 MHz Intermediate Frequency (IF) input signals to 800 MHz to 4000 MHz Radio Frequency. The single-ended input utilises an input Digital Gain Amplifier (DGA) which is controlled via the SPI bus.
Featuring integrated power detectors to monitor input/mixer/output power levels, the HMC8200LP5ME provides 35 dB of digital gain control in 1 dB steps. An analogue Voltage Gain Amplifier (VGA) continuously controls the transmitter output power.
