MAX2406 Evaluation Kit
_______________General Description
The MAX2406 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies testing of
the MAX2406. This EV kit allows the evaluation of the
low-noise amplifier (LNA) as well as the receive down-
converter mixer.

_________________________Quick Start
The MAX2406 is fully assembled and factory tested.
Follow these instructions for initial evaluation of the
MAX2406.
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the test equipment recommended for
verifying operation of the MAX2406. It is intended as a
guide only; some substitutions may be possible.
• Two RF signal generators capable of delivering at
least 0dBm of output power at frequencies up to
2GHz (HP8648C or equivalent). One generator is
required for the local oscillator (LO) source; the
other is required for the mixer input. Only one gener-
ator is required to operate the LNA.
• An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the MAX2406’s
operating frequency range (HP8561E, for example).
• A power supply that can provide up to 100mA at
2.7V to 5.5V.
• An ammeter for measuring the supply current
(optional).
• Several 50Ω SMA cables.
Connections and Setup
This section provides a step-by-step guide to getting
the EV kit operational and testing both the LNA and the
receive mixer. Do not turn on the DC power or RF
signal generators until all connections have been
made.
