Low-Band Transmit Mixer Test Guide
This section involves measuring the Transmit Mixer performance.
All tests apply for an IF output terminated into a 1 k
Ω
differential
load. To match the IF output to the 50
Ω
test equipment a
transformer balun is used. All unused ports are terminated into 50
Ω
.

SEE APPENDIX A: TEST BENCH SETUPS
Test setup Figure 20
The low band transmit mixer power conversion gain (dB) is the
measured power (dBm) at the IF frequency minus the RF source
power (dBm). It is measured using a RF source and a spectrum
analyzer.
1) Set the RF source power (RF P
in
) and the desired frequency
(see Table 5). Connect the RF source to the EVM RF port,
J30.
2) Set the LO source power (LO P
in
) and the desired frequency
(see Table 5). Connect the LO source to the EVM LO input
port, J12.
