60MHz clock on the subsequent ADC) would be controlled via
the baseband IQ demodulator chip such as the VP305 which
follows the dual channel ADC. For simplicity, the VCO is
locked using GPS SP5611 synthesiser, controlled via an I
bus.

For full evaluation, 30V and 5V supplies are necessary.
The board must be provided with the following supplies:
A) 5V for the SL1714 and SP5611 and 30V for the
