MAX2374 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2374 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2374 low-noise amplifier (LNA). It
enables testing of the device鈥檚 RF performance and
requires no additional support circuitry. The signal input
and output ports use SMA connectors to facilitate the
connection of RF test equipment.
The MAX2374 EV kit is assembled with the MAX2374
and incorporates input and output matching compo-
nents optimized for an RF frequency of 880MHz. All
matching components may be changed to match RF
frequencies from 750MHz to 1000MHz. Refer to Table 1
in the MAX2374 data sheet for the device鈥檚 S-parame-
ters to design matching networks at other frequen-
cies.
