ANALOG DEVICES EVAL-CN0518-EBZ Evaluation Board, HMC376LP3E, RF Low Noise Amplifier Receiver, 5V Power Adapter

EVAL-CN0518-EBZ is a USB-powered, RF power amplifier that is optimized for receiving signal chains in the 915MHz ISM band. Using two HMC376 amplifiers cascaded together, the design provides a gain of 25dB and return losses of more than 10dB at its centre frequency. The circuit includes a high speed overpower cut-off that protects sensitive downstream equipment connected to the receiver system. The receiver system also automatically returns to normal operation when the RF power level drops within the acceptable range. Designed to be used with the ADALM-PLUTO, the EVAL-CN0518-EBZ features a small form factor with dimensions of 25.4 mm × 49.6 mm x 1.5748 mm (PCB only). The RF input and output are designed with a 50 ohm impedance, enabling direct connection between the circuit and standard 50 ohm systems. A micro-USB connector is used for the input power, allowing the evaluation board to use most +5 V wall wart power supplies available in the market.
