2.5 RF Output

Each LMX2594 device has two RF outputs, but only RFoutA is used. By default, RFoutAP pin is connected to the SMA connector while the RFoutAM pin is terminated onboard. This is the default configuration to measure the phases between the outputs of the LMX2594 devices. With some modification to the EVM, the sum of the two LMX2594 devices output can be obtained from the SumRFout SMA connector. See Section 7 for more information on EVM modification.
