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

Ω 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.
