MAX2411A Evaluation Kit
________________General Description
The MAX2411A evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies testing
of the MAX2411A. This EV kit allows evaluation of the
MAX2411A’s low-noise amplifier (LNA), receive down-
converter mixer, transmit upconverter mixer, variable-
gain power-amplifier (PA) driver, and power-management
features.

_________________________Quick Start
The MAX2411A EV kit is fully assembled and factory
tested. Follow these instructions for initial evaluation of
the MAX2411A.
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the recommended test equipment to
verify the operation of the MAX2411A. It is intended as
a guide only, and some substitutions may be possible.
• Two RF signal generators capable of delivering
0dBm of output power at frequencies up to 2GHz
(HP8648C, or equivalent).
• An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the operating
frequency range of the MAX2411A as well as a few
harmonics (HP8561E, for example).
• A power supply that can provide up to 100mA at
+2.7V to +5.5V.
• A voltage source (0 to 5V) for adjusting the gain-con-
trol (GC) voltage on the PA driver.
• An optional ammeter for measuring the supply
current.
• Several 50Ω SMA cables.
