MAX2039 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
♦ 50Ω SMA Connectors on Input and Output Ports
♦ 1700MHz to 2200MHz RF Frequency Range
♦ 1500MHz to 2000MHz LO Frequency Range
The MAX2039 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2039 UMTS, DCS, and PCS base-sta-
tion up/downconversion mixer. It is fully assembled and
tested at the factory. Standard 50Ω SMA connectors
are included on the EV kit’s input and output ports to
allow quick and easy evaluation on the test bench.
♦ 1900MHz to 2400MHz LO Frequency Range
