+ | ===== Basic Test Case ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Begin by enabling the modulator power up setting | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Attach a +5.0V supply to the DUT pin with a current limit of 400mA | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Attach a Spectrum Analyzer to the RFOut pin of the ADRF6755 | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. Hit the apply button at the bottom of the ACE | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5. Set the center frequency of the Spectrum Analyzer to 1875MHz and the span to 80MHz | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. Measure the output frequency and output power of the main RF output on the spectrum analyzer. The highest power tone at 1850MHz should read be greater than -4dBm | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. The power of the carrier feedthrough at 1875MHz should be at least 45dB below the 1850MHz tone (-45dBc) | ||
+ | 8. The power of the suppressed sideband at 1900MHz should be at least 30dB below the 1850MHz tone (-30dBc) | ||
