Introduction  
1.1 Purpose  
The TRF2436 EVM provides a platform for evaluating the TRF2436 high-power, dual-band RF front-end  
under various signals, reference, and supply conditions. Use this document with the EVM schematic  
diagram supplied. Using the TRF2436EVM, you can rapidly evaluate the TRF2436 with a minimum of  
manual setup.  
1.2 System Requirements  
Use the following equipment when evaluating the TRF2436EVM:  
+3.3-V power supply, 800 mA.  
Signal generator: Agilent ESG Series (with baseband I/Q modulation option for modulated testing) or  
equivalent.  
Spectrum analyzer: Agilent PSA Series (with phase noise option) or equivalent.  
Vector signal analyzer: Agilent 89600 Series for 802.16x modulated EVM testing or equivalent.  
1.3 Power Requirements  
The demonstration board requires only one supply for proper operation. Connect +3.3 V at P1 and the  
return to P2. Always terminate active PA outputs before enabling the power supply.  
Voltage Limits  
Exceeding the maximum input voltages can damage EVM components. Undervoltage can cause improper  
operation of some or all of the EVM components.

Physical Description  
2.2 RX Operation  
1. Set TR (J13) to logic 0.  
2. Set PA_A SEL (J10) to logic 0.  
3. Connect a differential LO source to the LOP/LON SMAs (or use an external balun).  
Set the LO to an appropriate frequency, with the power level between 0 to +4 dBm. Remember that for  
A-band operation, the LO input frequency is doubled inside the TRF2436; so, the LO should be set to  
half the frequency desired at the mixer LO port.  
4. For mixer stage measurement:  
a. Terminate RFA (J9) and RFANTA (J6) into 50 .  
b. Connect an RF source to MFA (J8). Set to a desired RF frequency and typical power level  
of –20 dBm.  
c. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the IF (J7) output.  
d. Turn on the 3.3-V power supply (~90 mA).  
e. Observe the IF output on a spectrum analyzer (374 MHz).  
5. For LNA stage measurement:  
a. Terminate IF (J7) and MFA (J8) into 50 .  
b. Connect an RF source to RFANTA (J6). Set to a desired frequency and typical power  
level of –40 dBm.  
c. Connect a spectrum analyzer to RFA (J9).  
d. Turn on the power supply.  
e. Observe the LNA output on a spectrum analyzer.  
f. Use jumper J14 (RXDGC) to select between LNA high (pins 2-3) and low gain (pins 1-2)  
modes.
