Using a Johanson 2450BM14E0007 Impedance-Matched, Integrated Filter Balun
with the ADF7241 and ADF7242
by Mary O’Keefe
INTRODUCTION
EVALUATION BOARD LAYOUT
This application note describes the use and performance achieved
using the Johanson Technology, Inc., 2450BM14E0007 impedancematched (complex differential impedance value) filter balun with
the ADF7241 or ADF7242 2.4 GHz RF transceivers. The filter
balun from Johanson Technology effectively reduces the RF
front-end component count and layout space. This balun is 100%
RF tested by Johanson Technology. The Additional Information
from Johanson Technology section provides more insight about
how harmonic emissions are attenuated, as well as further details
about the balun component.
An outline of the RF board layout is shown in Figure 1. Gerber
files of the board layout are available on the Analog Devices, Inc.,
ADF7242 evaluation board product website. Because the impedance seen by the balun is inherently dependent on the layout,
it is recommended to follow the EVAL-ADF724xDB3Z layout
as shown in the Gerber files as closely as possible for optimum
performance.
The board schematic is shown in Figure 2. Note that the C7 and
C8 capacitors are required for power amplifier stability, and the
specified 10 nF value should be used.
