Tusonix recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and a separate power plane for the filter. Keep the input and output traces short and away from each other to minimize crosstalk.
Mount the device on a heat sink or a metal core PCB, and ensure good airflow around the device. The maximum operating temperature is 85°C, so ensure the device is kept below this temperature to prevent thermal shutdown.
The typical insertion loss of the 4100-003 is around 1.5 dB, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating frequency.
Yes, the 4100-003 is designed to meet the requirements of high-reliability and military applications. It is built with high-quality components and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its performance and reliability.
Common issues with the 4100-003 include poor filter performance, high insertion loss, and overheating. Troubleshoot by checking the PCB layout, ensuring proper power supply and grounding, and verifying the operating frequency and temperature.
