MAX2242 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2242 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX2242 power amplifier (PA), which is
designed for 2.4GHz ISM-band direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) applications. The kit enables
testing of the device鈥檚 RF performance and requires no
additional support circuitry. The EV kit input and output
use SMA connectors to facilitate the connection to RF
test equipment.
Each kit is assembled with the MAX2242 and incorpo-
rates input- and output-matching components opti-
mized for the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz RF frequency band.
