Legerity recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to keep the input and output traces as short as possible. Additionally, it's recommended to use a common mode choke and a shielded cable for the RF input.
The LE79R241JC requires a bias voltage of 5V ± 10% and a bias current of 10mA ± 10%. Ensure that the bias voltage is clean and stable, and that the bias current is limited to prevent overheating.
The LE79R241JC is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to operate the device within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C for optimal performance and reliability.
Start by verifying the power supply and bias voltage. Check for any signs of overheating, and ensure that the device is properly soldered and mounted. Use a spectrum analyzer to check the output signal, and consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guides.
The LE79R241JC is not hermetically sealed, so it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments. However, if it's necessary to operate the device in a humid environment, ensure that it's properly sealed and conformally coated to prevent moisture ingress.
