AWMF-0239 Developer Kit
Qorvo's AWMF-0239-DL developer kit includes all hardware and software required to interface to the AWMF-0239. The kits enable full evaluation and RF testing of the developer kit with easily defined user interfaces. The test board has been carefully designed to easily replicate the performance of the device and to provide the necessary channel to channel isolation.
Calibration data is included to enable the removal of test board line losses. The SPI control is supported through a high-speed cable, interposer board and USB interface module. Driver software is supplied to provide control from a PC.
DC power is supplied to the test board through a separate cable assembly. A full set of measured data is included to provide reference performance for each Developer Kit.
Evaluation of the AWMF-0240 with the developer kit will significantly shorten the time to become familiar with the operation and performance of the product, thereby reducing system development time and cost.
