High-Bandwidth Zero-IF Reference Design for Microwave Backhaul

Description

The TSW40RF82EVM reference design provides a platform to interface the DAC38RF82 with a high-performance modulator - the TRF370417EVM. The TRF370417EVM can modulate wideband signals at up to 6 GHz as would be typical for a microwave backhaul application. The TRF370417 device may be substituted for a suitable higher-frequency device. Minimal modification is required to interface the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the modulator. This design provides the method to interface the TSW40RF82EVM with the TRF370417EVM.
