Description
The EV9980 EvKit allows rapid and full evaluation of the CMX998 Cartesian Feedback Transmitter IC.

In the form of a populated PCB, this flexible platform enables users, using a control interface, to configure and evaluate the CMX998 to various applications and frequency bands.

Access is provided to all CMX998 RF, baseband and control signals by either connector or test points. Test access points are available to accept common test equipments such as RF and baseband signal generators and spectrum analysers.

All signal paths are matched by suitable (changeable) components and the EvKit provides, on-board, two power amplifier devices, one at 400MHz (default) and one at 800MHz; support is also available for the connection and operation of a custom PA. The overall operating evaluation frequency range of the EvKit is for RF frequencies between 100MHz and 1GHz.

The EV9980 can be configured to work with the CMX981 Digital Radio Baseband processor IC or with a custom baseband system.

No software is required for use of the EV9980 EvKit; the on-board CMX998 is controlled via its C-BUS serial interface and control system.
A PE0001 EvKit Interface Card (details within Support Package via link below) is included as part of the EV9980 EvKit. Also a custom C-BUS interface and control system can be used.
