Evaluation Board

The following diagrams show the schematic and PCB layout of the RF2053 evaluation boards.The standard evaluation board,

DK2053, has been configured with a narrowband VCO covering 1646MHz to 1670MHz. The wideband evaluation board,

DK2053-WB, has a VCO covering over an octave, 950MHz to 2150MHz. The mixer input and output on both boards have been

configured for broadband oeration. Application notes have been produced showing how the device is matched and on balun

implementations for narrowband applications. The evaluation boards are provided as part of a design kit (DK2053 and

DK2053-WB), along with the necessary cables and programming software tool to enable full evaluation of the RF2053.
