Overview

The ADRF5300-EVALZ Evaluation Board User Guide (UG-1886) provides comprehensive instructions for evaluating the ADRF5300, a silicon SPDT reflective switch operating from 24 GHz to 32 GHz. The document details the hardware configuration, including the use of 2.4 mm Hirose RF connectors and an on-board through line (THRUCAL) for de-embedding trace loss during calibration. It covers power supply requirements, specifically the single 3.3V supply enabled by the device's integrated negative voltage generator. The guide includes a complete test procedure for measuring scattering parameters, detailed board schematics, layout artwork, and a full bill of materials.

Use Cases

  • Performance evaluation of the ADRF5300 SPDT switch
  • Prototyping high-frequency RF switching circuits
  • Calibration and de-embedding of RF signal paths
  • Testing millimeter wave signal routing
