Low-Band Transmit Mixer Test Guide

This section involves measuring the Transmit Mixer performance. All tests apply for an IF output terminated into a 1 kΩ differential load. To match the IF output to the 50 Ω test equipment a

transformer balun is used. All unused ports are terminated into 50 Ω.

Low-Band Transmit Mixer: Power Conversion Gain

Control state: 010100

SEE APPENDIX A: TEST BENCH SETUPS

Test setup Figure 20

The low band transmit mixer power conversion gain (dB) is the measured power (dBm) at the IF frequency minus the RF source power (dBm). It is measured using a RF source and a spectrum analyzer.

1)Set the RF source power (RF Pin) and the desired frequency (see Table 5). Connect the RF source to the EVM RF port, J30.

2)Set the LO source power (LO Pin) and the desired frequency (see Table 5). Connect the LO source to the EVM LO input port, J12.
