 ====== GENERAL DESCRIPTION ======
 The ADAR1000-EVAL1Z evaluation board is an analog beamforming front-end designed for testing the performance of the [[adi>adar1000|ADAR1000]] and [[adi>adtr1107|ADTR1107]]. The [[adi>adar1000|ADAR1000]] is an 8 GHz to 16 GHz, 4-Channel, X Band and Ku Band Beamformer IC. The [[adi>adtr1107|ADTR1107]] is a 6 GHz to 18 GHz, Front-End Transmit/Receive module.
@@ Line 6: / Line 6: @@
 The ADAR1000-EVAL1Z board consists of 8 RF cells. Each cell contains a core [[adi>adar1000|ADAR1000]] surrounded by four [[adi>adtr1107|ADTR1107s]]. All RF input/outputs on the evaluation board are brought out to SMPM coaxial connectors. There is a 12V power input and all required voltage rails for the board are generated on-board. Digital control of the board as well as the beamformers is enabled using either an [[adi>SDP-S|System Demonstration Platform (SDP-S)]] connector or a dual PMOD interface. Control signals for the board are expected to be 3.3V logic with on-board level translators converting this to the on-chip logic level of 1.8V.
