A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. The device should be placed near the edge of the board to minimize signal reflections. A 50Ω microstrip transmission line should be used to connect the device to the antenna.
The device requires a single 2.7V to 5.5V power supply. A 10nF decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the device's power pin. The bias voltage should be filtered using a ferrite bead or a 10Ω resistor to minimize noise.
The device can handle up to 20dBm (100mW) of input power. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the device or affect its performance.
The device has a nominal input impedance of 50Ω. Impedance matching can be achieved using a π-network or a T-network with capacitors and inductors. The goal is to match the device's input impedance to the antenna's impedance for maximum power transfer.
The device operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, the device's performance may degrade at extreme temperatures. It is recommended to operate the device within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C for optimal performance.
