General Description
The MAX2039 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2039 UMTS, DCS, and PCS base-sta-
tion up/downconversion mixer. It is fully assembled and
tested at the factory. Standard 50
SMA connectors
are included on the EV kit’s input and output ports to
allow quick and easy evaluation on the test bench.
This document provides a list of test equipment
required to evaluate the device, a straight-forward test
procedure to verify functionality, a description of the EV
kit circuit, the circuit schematic, a bill of materials
(BOM) for the kit, and artwork for each layer of the PC
board.
