A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. The device should be placed near the center of the board, and the input and output tracks should be kept as short as possible.
The device requires a bias voltage of 5V and a bias current of 100mA. A voltage regulator and a current limiting resistor can be used to ensure proper biasing.
The device can handle up to 30 dBm of input power. Exceeding this limit may result in reduced performance or damage to the device.
Check the bias voltage and current, ensure proper PCB layout, and verify that the input signal is within the recommended power range. Use a spectrum analyzer to check for spurious signals or distortion.
Yes, the device is designed for high-reliability applications and is qualified to MIL-STD-883 standards. However, it is recommended to consult with MACOM's application engineers for specific requirements.
