1. DAC348x + TRF3705 Filter Design and Gain Flatness Prepared by Kang Hsia 09/23/2013 1

2. Gain Flatness Summary Gain flatness tested on DAC34H84 + TRF3705 with 350MHz LPF in between the DAC and modulator. Gain flatness of less than 1dB gain variation is observed. Gain flatness of the DAC and modulator is primarily due to the matching of the impedance between the DAC and modulator 2
