The recommended PCB layout for the TRF7960RHBT involves keeping the RF traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and placing the antenna as close to the chip as possible. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane is recommended. TI provides a reference design and layout guidelines in the TRF7960RHBT datasheet and application notes.
Optimizing the antenna design for the TRF7960RHBT involves selecting the right antenna type (e.g., dipole, patch, or loop), tuning the antenna to the desired frequency, and ensuring proper impedance matching. TI provides antenna design guidelines and examples in the TRF7960RHBT datasheet and application notes.
The TRF7960RHBT has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. However, the device can be operated at temperatures above 85°C with reduced performance and reliability. It's essential to ensure proper thermal management and heat dissipation to maintain reliable operation.
Implementing antenna diversity with the TRF7960RHBT involves using multiple antennas and switching between them to improve reception and transmission. TI provides guidelines and examples for antenna diversity implementation in the TRF7960RHBT datasheet and application notes.
The recommended power supply decoupling and filtering techniques for the TRF7960RHBT involve using a combination of capacitors and inductors to filter out noise and ensure a stable power supply. TI provides guidelines and examples for power supply decoupling and filtering in the TRF7960RHBT datasheet and application notes.
