The TRF2436 EVM provides a platform for evaluating the TRF2436 high-power, dual-band RF front-end

under various signals, reference, and supply conditions. Use this document with the EVM schematic

diagram supplied. Using the TRF2436EVM, you can rapidly evaluate the TRF2436 with a minimum of

manual setup.

Use the following equipment when evaluating the TRF2436EVM:

• +3.3-V power supply, 800 mA.

• Signal generator: Agilent ESG Series (with baseband I/Q modulation option for modulated testing) or

equivalent.

• Spectrum analyzer: Agilent PSA Series (with phase noise option) or equivalent.

• Vector signal analyzer: Agilent 89600 Series for 802.16x modulated EVM testing or equivalent.

The demonstration board requires only one supply for proper operation. Connect +3.3 V at P1 and the

return to P2. Always terminate active PA outputs before enabling the power supply.

Voltage Limits

Exceeding the maximum input voltages can damage EVM components. Undervoltage can cause improper

operation of some or all of the EVM components.
