Mini-Circuits provides a recommended PCB layout and footprint for GALI-49+ in their application note AN-60-014, which can be downloaded from their website. It's essential to follow this layout to ensure optimal performance and minimize parasitic effects.
The GALI-49+ requires a bias voltage of 5V and a bias current of 100mA. It's recommended to use a voltage regulator and a current limiting resistor to ensure stable biasing. Additionally, the datasheet provides a recommended bias circuit diagram.
The GALI-49+ can handle input powers up to +20dBm. However, it's recommended to operate at lower input powers to ensure optimal linearity and to prevent damage to the device.
The GALI-49+ has a 50Ω input and output impedance. To ensure optimal performance, it's recommended to use impedance matching networks or transformers to match the device to the system impedance. Mini-Circuits provides a recommended matching circuit diagram in their application note AN-60-014.
The GALI-49+ operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to operate the device within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C for optimal performance and reliability.
