The recommended PCB layout for the MAX2473EUT+T involves keeping the input and output traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the antenna. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 50Ω transmission line and to avoid routing signals under the device.
The choice of antenna for the MAX2473EUT+T depends on the specific application and frequency band of operation. A 50Ω antenna with a gain of around 2dBi is recommended. The antenna should also be matched to the device's output impedance to ensure maximum power transfer.
The MAX2473EUT+T can handle a maximum output power of +30dBm (1W) at the antenna port. However, the actual power handling capability may be limited by the specific application and the antenna used.
Impedance matching for the MAX2473EUT+T can be implemented using a π-network or a T-network of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The goal is to match the device's output impedance to the antenna's input impedance to ensure maximum power transfer.
The MAX2473EUT+T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, the device's performance may be affected at extreme temperatures, and it's recommended to operate the device within the recommended temperature range for optimal performance.
