GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
EK1HMC6350
evaluation kit allows users to set up a half-
duplex, 60 GHz millimeter wave link using standard baseband
analog interfaces. MMPX and 1.85 mm connectors are provided
to interface with third party test equipment or millimeter wave
antennas. The
EK1HMC6350
evaluation kit includes a USB
interface and graphical user interface (GUI) software, the
HMC6300/HMC6301 Graphical User Interface,
allowing the user
to program the
HMC6300
and
HMC6301
by writing to the device
registers.
There are two motherboards in the kit: an
HMC6300
motherboard
with the TX module location populated and the
HMC6301
motherboard with the RX module location populated.
Full specifications on the
HMC6300
and
HMC6301
are available in
the
HMC6300
and
HMC6301
data sheets, which should be
consulted in conjunction with this user guide when working
with the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE SETUP
CONNECTING THE MMPX CABLE TO THE
HMC6300
MOTHERBOARD/TX MODULE ASSEMBLY
Remove the
HMC6300
motherboard/TX module assembly from
the kit. Snap the MMPX semirigid cable into the
HMC6300
TX
module output connector, shown in Figure 1. The 1.85 mm
connector at the other end of the cable can interface with test
equipment or a WR-15 waveguide transition to connect with
third party antennas.
UG-1031
The baseband source can be test equipment or a modem that
generates a baseband tone or modulated I/Q signal. Connect
the baseband inputs on the motherboard to the baseband I/Q
source as follows:
Motherboard BB_IP connects to the I positive baseband output
Motherboard BB_IM connects to I negative baseband output
Motherboard BB_QP connects to Q positive baseband output
Motherboard BB_QM connects to Q negative baseband output
ATTACHING THE BASEBAND CABLES
Attach the four phase-matched baseband cables supplied with the
EK1HMC6350
evaluation kit to the Tx baseband inputs, and the
baseband cables snap into place. Attach the other end of the
baseband cables to the user selected baseband source.
MOTHERBOARD BOARD
Locate the wall mounted power supply and USB connector
supplied in the kit and connect them to the
HMC6300
motherboard/TX module assembly, shown in Figure 1 and
Figure 2.

CONNECTING THE MMPX CABLE TO THE
HMC6301
MOTHERBOARD/RX MODULE ASSEMBLY
Locate the motherboard with the
HMC6301
Rx receiver module
installed. Snap the MMPX semirigid cable into the
HMC6301
RX module output connector, shown in Figure 1. The 1.85 mm
connector at the other end of the cable can interface with a test
equipment or a WR-15 waveguide transition to connect with
third party antennas.
Attach the four phase-matched baseband cables supplied with
the
EK1HMC6350
evaluation kit to the Rx baseband outputs, the
baseband cables snap into place.
UG-1031
Attach the other end of the baseband cables to baseband test
equipment or a modem that processes a baseband tone or
modulated I/Q signal. Connect the baseband inputs on the
motherboard to the baseband I/Q source as follows:
•
•
•
•
Motherboard VOUT_IP connects to I positive
baseband input
Motherboard VOUT_IM connects to I negative
baseband input
Motherboard VOUT_QP connects to Q positive
baseband input
Motherboard VOUT_QM connects to Q negative
baseband input
Locate the wall-mounted power supply and USB connector
supplied in the
EK1HMC6350
evaluation kit and connect them
to the
HMC6301
motherboard/RX module assembly, shown in
Figure 3.
