ANALOG DEVICES ADL9005-EVALZ

ADL9005-EVALZ evaluation board for evaluating the ADL9005 wideband, low noise amplifier with single positive supply and 0.01GHz to 26.5GHz. ADL9005-EVALZ consists of a 2-layer printed circuit board (PCB) fabricated from 10mil thick, Rogers 4350B, copper clad, mounted to an aluminium heat spreader. The heat spreader assists in providing thermal relief to the device as well as mechanical support to the PCB. Mounting holes on the heat spreader allow attachment to larger heat sinks for improved thermal management. The RFIN and RFOUT ports on the ADL9005-EVALZ are populated with 2.9mm, female coaxial connectors, and the respective RF traces have a 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The ADL9005-EVALZ is populated with components suitable for use over the entire -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range of the ADL9005. An external wideband bias tee must be connected to RFOUT to provide bias current and ac coupling on RFOUT. The BT2-0040 from Marki Microwave is recommended.
