Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-HMC8412 Evaluation Board is a 4-layer printed circuit board (PCB) fabricated from 10mil thick, Rogers 4350B and Isola 370HR, copper-clad, forming a nominal thickness of 62mils. The RFIN and RFOUT ports are populated with 3.5mm, female coaxial connectors, and the corresponding RF traces have a 50Ω characteristic impedance.
The ADI EVAL-HMC8412 Evaluation Board is populated with components suitable for use over the entire -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range of the HMC8412. To calibrate board trace losses, a through calibration, the path is provided between the J1 and J2 connectors.
