DEB12055 Development Board

Introduction

The Knowles Dielectric Labs DEB12055 is an RF development board for evaluating the ADP12055 surface-mount diplexer. It is aimed at satellite-communications frequency bands and provides a practical evaluation platform for a diplexer application described around band centers of 11.75 GHz and 14.1 GHz.

As a dedicated RF diplexer evaluation tool, the board can help engineers assess the ADP12055 within the relevant high-frequency signal paths before incorporating the diplexer into a larger design.

What it does

A diplexer separates or combines signals in different frequency ranges, allowing RF paths to be handled through a common network while maintaining distinct bands. The DEB12055 is specifically intended for evaluation of the ADP12055 diplexer.

The board is specified for a frequency range of 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz. Its associated Satcom evaluation application references band centers at 11.75 GHz and 14.1 GHz. The stated operating-temperature range extends from -55°C to +125°C, supporting assessment across a wide temperature span.

Applications

Potential uses that follow from the board’s stated purpose include:

• Evaluation of the ADP12055 RF diplexer in satellite-communications band designs
• Development and test of RF signal-routing networks operating from 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz
• Laboratory characterization of diplexer behavior around the cited 11.75 GHz and 14.1 GHz Satcom band centers
• Temperature-range evaluation of an ADP12055-based diplexer implementation from -55°C to +125°C
• Early-stage prototyping of RF systems requiring separation or combination of distinct signal bands

Design considerations

The DEB12055 is an evaluation board rather than a finished RF subsystem, and it is specifically matched to the ADP12055 surface-mount diplexer. Designs evaluated with the board should therefore consider the target application’s RF frequency range and the relevant Satcom band centers.

The specified temperature range of -55°C to +125°C is also relevant when planning environmental testing or assessing intended operating conditions. The board is supplied in bulk packaging.
