GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EV-RADAR-MMIC2 evaluation board is designed to evaluate

the performance of the ADF5901, a 24 GHz transmitter (Tx)

monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC); the ADF5904,

a 24 GHz receiver (Rx) MMIC; and the ADF4159, a 13 GHz

phase-locked loop (PLL) for a frequency modulated continuous

wave (FMCW) radar system. Figure 1 shows the evaluation

board, which evaluates the ADF5901, ADF5904, and ADF4159

chipset, six high frequency K type connectors for the two Tx

outputs and four Rx inputs, banana connectors for the power

supply, and a connector for a system demonstration platform

(SDP) serial interface.

The EV-ADAR-D2S adapter board contains the eight AD8129

differential receiver amplifiers that convert the baseband ADF5904

differential signals to single-ended signals with a 20 dB gain.

The evaluation kit also contains the Analog Devices EV-RADAR-

MMIC Software, which is compatible with Windows® XP and

later Windows versions to allow easy programming of the device.

The EV-RADAR-MMIC2 evaluation board requires an SDP-S

or SDP-B board (not supplied with the kit). The SDP board

allows software programming of all the devices.

Full specifications for the ADF5901, ADF5904, and ADF4159

are listed in the ADF5901 data sheet, the ADF5904 data sheet,

and the ADF4159 data sheet available from Analog Devices and

should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when

using the evaluation board.

EV-RADAR-MMIC2 User Guide UG-866 EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE The EV-RADAR-MMIC2 evaluation board requires an SDP-S or SDP-B motherboard to program the device. These SDP boards are not included with the evaluation board and must be purchased separately. POWER SUPPLIES The EV-RADAR-MMIC2 evaluation board is powered via one external supply of 5 V connected to VSUPPLY as described in the Quick Start Guide section.

UG-866 EV-RADAR-MMIC2 User Guide EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE The control software for the EV-RADAR-MMIC2 accompanies the EV-RADAR-MMIC2 on a CD. For the software installation procedure, see the UG-476 user guide, PLL Software Installation Guide. Confirm that SDP connected displays at the bottom left of the window on the status bar (see Figure 2). Otherwise, the software has no connection to the evaluation board.

EV-RADAR-MMIC2 User Guide UG-866 ADF5904 CONTROLS When the device initially powers up, click the Initialize button to perform the initialization sequence as described in the ADF5904 data sheet. The ADF5904 Controls tab controls the ADF5904 device settings (see Figure 3). 13410-003 General options are available for the ADF5904 in this section, including power-up and power-down controls and register readback.

The ADF5901 Controls tab controls the ADF5901 device settings (see Figure 4). When the device initially powers up, click Initialize ADF5901 to perform the initialization sequence as described in the ADF5901 data sheet.

EV-RADAR-MMIC2 User Guide UG-866 ADF4159 CONTROLS The ADF4159 Controls tab controls the ADF4159 device settings (see Figure 5). ADF4159 Main Controls Program the Phase Detector Polarity to negative when using an inverting active loop filter configuration (use a passive loop filter on the EV-RADAR-MMIC). Select the signal that is connected to the output of the MUXOUT pin from the Muxout drop down menu. The register values are shown at the bottom of the window.

UG-866 EV-RADAR-MMIC2 User Guide ADF4159 Ramps and Shift Keying In the Ramps and Shift Keying tab, configure the ramping functionality of the ADF4159. Select the ramp type in the Ramp mode drop down menu; the various ramp parameters can be set in the CLK1 spin box and in the Up Ramp pane. For 200 MHz, the PLL is programmed for a 100 MHz ramp because the evaluation board uses the ADF5901 auxiliary output with a 12 GHz output signal.
