Rev. 0 | 7 of 19

To evaluate and test the performance of the EV-ADF41510SD1Z

and EV-ADF41510SD2Z, use the following procedure:

1. Install the ADF41510 software (refer to the PLL Software Instal-

lation Guide).

2. If using a PC with Windows XP, follow the hardware driver

installation procedure.

3. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP-S board.

4. Connect the 6 V power supply to the banana connectors.

5. Connect the 25 V power supply to the V+SMA connector.

6. Power on the 6 V and 25 V supplies. There is no sequencing

requirement.

7. Connect the USB cable from the SDP-S board to the PC.

8. Run the ADF41510 software.

9. Select ADF41510 and SDP board (black) in the Select Device

and Connection tab (see Figure 2).

10. Click the Main Controls tab, and set the VCOout (MHz) box to

a frequency of 10,000 MHz (see Figure 6).

11. Click Write Initialization Sequence in the Registers area.

12. Connect the spectrum analyzer to SMA Connector RFOUT.

13. Measure the output spectrum and single sideband phase noise.

Figure 7 shows a phase noise plot of the SMA RFOUT at 10 GHz.
