A good thermal design should include a solid ground plane, thermal vias, and a heat sink. Keep the device away from heat sources and ensure good airflow. Refer to NXP's application note AN11542 for more information.
Use the output filter design tool provided by NXP or follow the guidelines in the datasheet. Ensure the filter components are selected based on the output power, frequency, and load impedance. A 2nd-order LC filter is recommended for most applications.
Follow the guidelines in the datasheet and application notes for PCB layout, component selection, and shielding. Ensure proper grounding, decoupling, and filtering to minimize EMI. Conduct EMC testing to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
Check the PCB layout, thermal design, and component selection. Verify the input and output impedance matching, and ensure proper decoupling and filtering. Use oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers to diagnose issues. Refer to NXP's application notes and technical support for guidance.
Use a signal generator, oscilloscope, and spectrum analyzer to measure parameters like gain, frequency response, and distortion. Follow the test procedures outlined in the datasheet and application notes. Ensure proper calibration and setup of test equipment.
