LMDS Evaluation Board for PLL Frequency Synthesizer
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Self-contained board including synthesizer, VCO, and loop filter,
for generating LMDS frequencies (5.75 GHz to 5.9 GHz)
Designed for 1 MHz PFD spacing and 50 kHz loop bandwidth
Accompanying software allows complete control of synthesizer
functions from a PC
Battery operated: choice of 3 V or 5 V supplies
Typical phase noise performance of −76.5 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset
Typical spurious performance of −70 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset
The EVAL-ADF4106EBZ1 is designed to allow the user to evaluate
the performance of the ADF4106 frequency synthesizer for phase
locked loops (PLLs). The block diagram of the board is shown in
Figure 1. It contains the ADF4106 synthesizer, a PC connector, a
10 MHz TCXO for the reference input, SMA connectors for the
power supplies, and an RF output. There is also a low-pass loop
filter (50 kHz) and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), Z-COMM
V940ME03, on board. The evaluation board is set up for a 1 MHz
PFD comparison frequency. A cable is included with the board to
connect to a PC printer port.
The package also contains Windows® software to allow easy
programming of the synthesizer.

LOOP FILTER COMPONENTS
09144-002
Loop component values shown in the circuit diagrams (see
Figure 5 and Figure 6) are for a 5.8 GHz RF output, a 2.5 mA
CP current, a V940ME03 VCO, 1 MHz channel spacing, a 50 kHz
loop bandwidth, a phase margin of 45°, and N equals 5800.
Figure 2. Evaluation Board Silkscreen
The board is powered from a single 9 V battery. The power
supply circuitry allows the user to choose 3 V for the ADF4106
VDD and either 3 V or 5 V for the ADF4106 VP and VCO supply.
The default settings are 3 V for the ADF4106 VDD and 5 V for
the ADF4106 VP and VCO supply. The ADF4106 VDD should
never exceed the ADF4106 VP. This can damage the device.
The evaluation kit CD comes with a copy of the ADIsimPLL™
software that allows users to create new filter designs and model
the frequency and time domain responses of these loops. This
software also has a useful report and schematic option.
All components necessary for LO generation are catered for onboard. The 10 MHz TCXO from Vectron provides the necessary
reference input. The PLL is made up of the ADF4106, a passive
loop filter (50 kHz), and the V940ME03 VCO from Z-COMM.
The output is available at RFOUT through a standard SMA
connector. Users can use their own power supplies and reference
input. However, in this case, they need to insert SMA connectors
as shown in the silkscreen (see Figure 2) and block diagram
(see Figure 1).

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
PROGRAMMABLE SOFTWARE SETTINGS
The software is provided on a bundled installation CD. To
install, use the following steps:
To program the software, complete the following:
1.
2.
1.
Double-click setup.exe. The install wizard installs the
software. Note that administrator access is required on the
PC to install the software.
Follow the on-screen instructions. The software is installed
to a default directory: C:/Program Files/Analog Devices/
ADF_Rev3.x. To run the software from this directory,
double-click ADF_Rev3_x.exe. Any previous software
revisions should be uninstalled.
Prior to the Main Interface Page, a window appears, which
prompts you to select the device to be evaluated. Choose the
ADF4106 and the interface option, and then click OK. The
Main Interface Page now appears (see Figure 4).
2.
3.
Click RF VCO Output Frequency for the Output
Frequency window to appear.
Enter the desired PFD Frequency, in kHz, and click OK.
Click REF IN Frequency and enter the desired frequency
in MHz.
To modify RF Charge Pump Current Setting 1 or
RF Charge Pump Current Setting 2, click the corresponding
text box and the current setting window will appear. The RF
Prescaler settings can be changed the same way.
At this point, the data is now set up, and the user can modify other
features.
