Hi Team,
We are using a custom ADRV9009 with evaluation ZCU102. In custom ADRV9009 design has HMC7044 PLL clock source instead of AD9528 PLL. The ADRV9009 initializations are done and the no-os prints are as expected.
But we observed that the DAC output of ADRV9009 contains LO leakage issues. The DAC outputs of ADRV9009 contain LO, fm+LO , fm-LO frequencies. Let's say, ADRV9009 LO is tuned to 2.5GHz and we are providing 1MHz offset from DDS then the DAC output has 2499MHz, 2500MHz and 2501MHz frequencies.
When we are used TALISE_enableTxNCO() API, we observed only LO+fm frequency. But as per TALISE_enableTxNCO() API is used, fm+LO and fm-LO frequencies are present.
When we are used ADI DDS from SDK, we observed fm+LO and fm-LO frequencies in the DAC output.
What could be the reason for fm-LO (Image frequency) in he DAC output of ADRV9009 ?
