Analog DevicesEVAL-ADF7021-VDB1Z

EVAL-ADF7021-VDB1Z is ADF7021-V Daughter Board (450 MHz - 470 MHz) .

The ADF7021-V is a high performance, low power, narrow-band RF transceiver based on the ADF7021-N. The architecture of the ADF7021-V transceiver is similar to that of the ADF7021-N except that an external VCO is used by the on-chip RF synthesizer for applications that require improved phase noise performance.

The ADF7021-V is designed to operate in both the license-free ISM bands and in the licensed bands from 80 MHz to 960 MHz.

To minimize RF feedthrough and spurious emissions, the external VCO operates at 2× or 4× the desired RF frequency; the ADF7021-V supports a maximum VCO frequency operation of 1920 MHz. The 4× VCO operation is programmable by enabling an additional on-chip divide-by-2 outside the RF synthesizer loop and offers improved phase noise performance.
