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.
