MAX2660/MAX2661/MAX2663/MAX2671
Evaluation Kits
General Description
Features
The MAX2660/MAX2661/MAX2663/MAX2671 evaluation
kits simplify evaluation of the MAX2660/MAX2661/
MAX2663/MAX2671 upconverter mixers. They enable test-
ing of all the functions, with no additional support circuitry.
Signal inputs and outputs use SMA connectors and are
compatible with the 50Ω impedance of test equipment.
Each EV kit is shipped with a Maxim device configured
for operation with an IF input frequency of 40MHz to
500MHz, and LO input frequency of 600MHz to
2400MHz. The output matching network of each kit is
optimized for an RF output frequency of 900MHz.
