A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the signal traces short and away from the power plane to minimize noise and radiation.
Follow the recommended biasing circuit in the datasheet, and ensure the voltage supply is stable and noise-free. A voltage regulator and decoupling capacitors can help achieve this.
The AM1064-1 can handle up to 20 dBm of input power. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the device or affect its performance.
Check the PCB layout, biasing, and power supply for any issues. Use a spectrum analyzer to measure the output signal and identify any spurious signals or noise. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
The AM1064-1 is rated for operation up to 85°C. However, high temperatures can affect its performance and reliability. Consider using a heat sink or thermal management system to maintain a safe operating temperature.
