ADRF6520 in/out system connection

I'm confusing about this part's output network description in user guide.

There are 2 channels (OPP1/OPM1) (OPP2/OPM2) with 20ohm differential impedance.

How could I connect to next stage by 100ohm diff pairs from output pin? 

Btw, is it necessary connect input to previous stage by 100ohm diff pairs directly w/o T1/T2 balun?

Thanks.

  • Each output has an output impedance of 20 Ohms differential and is loaded with 100 Ohm differential.  If the differential pair present a 100 Ohm differential impedance, you should be able to connect directly. 

    No, you do not need to use the baluns that are on the evaluation board.  Those are mainly there to interface easily with test equipment.
