The maximum operating temperature for the BW-N30W5+ is 65°C (149°F), although it's recommended to derate the power handling above 40°C (104°F) to ensure reliable operation.
The BW-N30W5+ is not designed for outdoor use and should be used in an indoor environment. If outdoor use is necessary, it's recommended to add additional protection such as a weather-tight enclosure and protection from moisture and extreme temperatures.
The recommended PCB layout and grounding scheme for the BW-N30W5+ involves using a low-impedance ground plane, placing the amplifier near the edge of the PCB, and using short, direct connections to the input and output ports. A good grounding scheme is crucial to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure optimal performance.
The BW-N30W5+ is a single-ended amplifier and is not designed for push-pull or differential configurations. Using it in such a configuration may lead to instability, oscillations, or damage to the device.
The BW-N30W5+ can tolerate a maximum VSWR of 2:1, although a lower VSWR is recommended for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the device.
