loads connected to them. To avoid degrading the output
signals resistive loads connected to these pins should always
be 1K or greater with a parallel capacitance of 15pF or less
for connection to test equipment via normal coaxial cables. To
alleviate this problem the application board is fitted with
emitter follower buffer amplifiers which allow the connection of
loads as low as 50
output stages of the SL1710. These buffer amplifiers can be
either connected in circuit, or bypassed by changing the
position of Links 1 and 2.

care must be taken to ensure that the loading conditions

way to alleviate this constraint.

level at the I and Q outputs. Adjust the RF input level until an
output level of 760mV pk-pk is achieved. For best
performance this level should not exceeded.
