The maximum input power that the ADE-30W can handle is +10 dBm. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the amplifier.
The ADE-30W is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. Ensure good airflow around the device and avoid blocking the heat sink fins to maintain a stable temperature.
Use a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and ensure that the amplifier is grounded to the chassis or a solid ground point. Keep the input and output traces as short as possible and use 50-ohm transmission lines to minimize reflections.
Yes, the ADE-30W can be used in a push-pull configuration to achieve higher output power and improved linearity. However, this requires careful design and layout to ensure proper phasing and impedance matching.
The ADE-30W is a self-biased amplifier, but it's recommended to use an external bias circuit to ensure optimal performance. Consult the datasheet and application notes for recommended biasing schemes.
