Tusonix recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the filter placed in a 50-ohm transmission line, and the input and output lines should be matched to 50 ohms. Additionally, the PCB should be designed to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
The M15733/51-0001 filter does not require an external DC bias, as it is internally biased. However, it's essential to ensure that the filter is connected to a 50-ohm source and load to maintain optimal performance.
The maximum power handling of the M15733/51-0001 filter is 10 watts. Exceeding this power rating may cause damage to the filter or affect its performance.
The M15733/51-0001 filter is designed to operate in a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. While it can tolerate high temperatures, its performance may degrade above 70°C. It's essential to consider the operating temperature when designing the system.
To troubleshoot issues with the filter, start by verifying the PCB layout and ensuring that the input and output lines are properly matched. Check for any signs of physical damage or overheating. If the issue persists, consult the Tusonix application notes or contact their technical support for assistance.
