ADL7078-EVALZ

ADL7078-EVALZ is a 2-layer PCB to evaluate the ADL7078 high survivability, low noise amplifier, 1GHz to 20GHz. The RFIN and RFOUT ports on the ADL7078-EVALZ are populated with 2.9mm, female coaxial connectors, and the corresponding RF traces have a 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The ADL7078-EVALZ is populated with components suitable for use over the entire -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Access the ADL7078-EVALZ ground path and the VDD pin through the SMT test point connectors, GND and VDD. A supplementary test point for VBIAS is included for simple access on the RBIAS pin. The RF traces on the ADL7078-EVALZ are 50 ohm, grounded, coplanar waveguide. The package ground leads and the exposed pads connect directly to the ground plane. Multiple vias connect the top and bottom ground planes with particular focus on the area directly beneath the ground paddle to provide adequate electrical conduction and thermal conduction.

• Fabricated from 10mil thick, Rogers 4350B and copper clad
• Through calibration path (depopulated)
