CBP4-836C+ datasheet by Mini-Circuits

CBP4-836C+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage rating for the DC path?
  The maximum voltage rating for the DC path is 50V, but it's recommended to operate at 30V or less for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use this bias tee for high-power applications?
  No, the CBP4-836C+ is designed for low-power applications. It's not suitable for high-power applications due to its limited power handling capability.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  For optimal performance, it's recommended to follow the PCB layout guidelines provided in the application note, including keeping the RF path as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing vias and bends.
• Can I use this bias tee for frequencies above 6 GHz?
  While the CBP4-836C+ is specified up to 6 GHz, it may still work at higher frequencies, but with reduced performance and potential degradation of the insertion loss and return loss. It's recommended to consult with Mini-Circuits' application engineers for specific guidance.
• What is the operating temperature range for this bias tee?
  The operating temperature range for the CBP4-836C+ is -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to operate within a narrower range (e.g., 0°C to 70°C) for optimal performance and reliability.
