LMX2594: Max achievable output power for LMX2594EVM

Part Number: LMX2594

Tool/software:

Hi TI team,

I would like to know the max achievable output power for LMX2594EVM from 10 to 15 GHz (in 1 GHz step) in single-ended connection. Thanks.

  • Hi Henry,

    Figure 18 shown the output power vs frequency with power setting of 50, this is the max. output power setting.

  • Hi Noel,

    I have read through posts in the forum and my understanding is that the numbers in the plot you mentioned from datasheet is the max output power of LMX2594 itself with loss de-embedded. What I want to know is the power measured at SMA of LMX2594EVM at frequencies from 10 to 15 GHz (in 1 GHz step), with OUTx_PWR tweaked at different frequencies to achieve the maximum power for a typical board. Or, if the loss of transmission lines on LMX2549EVM has been characterized, it can be used in conjunction with the max power of chip itself from datasheet to estimate the final output power at SMA. Thanks.
