Hi
Setup:
I am working on custom board based on ADRV9009 and xczu9eg-ffvb1156-2 Xilinx FPGA. I am using no-os based setup.
I am using the profile generate by the TES software with Rx(both) 245.76 MHz, Tx(both) 245.76 MHz, and ORx(both) 245.76MHz.
It is mentioned in the ADRV9009 Datasheet that its has inherent antialiasing features.

Also in the ADRV9009 TES software, the following response is generated in the Rx Summary tab. This composite response shows that the harmonics will be attenuated by over120db.

There are settings in the talise_config.c file for the adc filter (rxAdcProfile). I believe that they contain the setting for this above mentioned behaviour.

Issue:
I see the following issue in the received Rx spectrum:
Questions:
Thanks

Is there any update on this issue?
The third order harmonics and its levels at 80-90dBC are expected as per datasheet specs. There is no way to reduce the levels further, you need to use external filters in order to completely eliminate them.
Test the harmonics at the below conditions with a reduced tone power level of -20dBm .

as per the image:
The composite response shows that the output will be around suppressed by roughly 150dbm. I am assuming the response of this filer. Even when I am giving the input power of -20dBm, the 3rd harmonic peak is 40dbm below the original peak. But as per your argument:
The third order harmonics and its levels at 80-90dBC are expected as per datasheet specs. There is no way to reduce the levels further, you need to use external filters in order to completely eliminate them.
the 3rd harmonic peak should be 80dbm below. So I am again back in the same boat, what should I must do to reduce the 3rd harmonic peak?
Thanks
what is the level are you getting for the 3rd harmonic, you need to use external filtering to suppress them.
what is the level are you getting for the 3rd harmonic, you need to use external filtering to suppress them.
For the 3rd harmonic I am getting only 3-4 dB down. Yes external filter is the only way I could opt. But as per the diagram anti aliasing should work.
