Hello,
I'm testing ADL5375-05 modulator on ADL5375-05EP EVALZ evaluation board and I'm getting higher order harmonics significantly higher then specified.
The test I did is replica of the datasheet test at 2.15 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The LO is single ended and power is set to 0 dBm and LO source is filtered with low pass filter. BB signal is 1 MHz sine wave with 1 Vp-p differentially. Baseband common mode voltage 0.5 V. LO leakage and image cancelation don't help.
The results I'm getting are:
at 2.125 GHz 2nd harmonic -40 dBc, 3rd order harmonic -14 dBc (datasheet spec are -75 dBc and -55 dBc)
at 3.5 GHz second harmonic -20 dBc, 3rd harmonic -20 dBc (datasheet spec are -55 dBc and -50 dBc)
Can you please help me to sort this problem?
Thank you,
Dragan
