Mini-Circuits provides a recommended PCB layout and footprint in their application notes, which can be found on their website. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and minimize parasitic effects.
The ADT16-1T has a 50 ohm input and output impedance. To impedance match, use a pi-network or a T-network topology with resistors and capacitors. Mini-Circuits also provides a impedance matching calculator tool on their website.
The ADT16-1T can handle up to +15 dBm of input power. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the device or affect its performance.
The ADT16-1T requires a positive bias voltage of +5V to +12V, with a recommended current of 10mA to 20mA. A voltage regulator or a bias tee can be used to provide the required bias voltage.
The ADT16-1T operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, the device's performance may vary outside the recommended operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
