SC2200-EVK900

The SC2200-EVK900 from Maxim Integrated Products is a dual-RFPAL, 698MHz to 960MHz SC2200 evaluation kit. It provides the hardware and software graphical user interface necessary for the evaluation of the SC2200. The SC2200 belongs to 4th-generation family of RF PA linearizers that provide increased integration and functionality over previous generations. The SC2200 is a dual-path linearizer that is a fully-adaptive, RFIN/RFOUT predistortion linearization solution. The device accepts single-ended RF signals to eliminate baluns and features a mirrored pinout facilitating design of both paths. It uses PA output and input signals to adaptively generate an optimized correction function to minimize PA's distortion. Using RF-domain analogue signal processing enables it to operate over wide bandwidths and with low power consumption. The dual linearizer can be used for small cell MIMO, active antennas, distributed antennas/in systems requiring two different simplex bands.
