A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the RF traces as short as possible and use 50-ohm impedance matching to minimize signal reflections.
Use a thermal pad or a heat sink to dissipate heat. Ensure good airflow around the device, and avoid blocking the thermal pads. Operate the device within the specified temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
The recommended input impedance is 50 ohms. Ensure that the input signal is matched to 50 ohms to minimize signal reflections and ensure optimal performance.
Use a signal generator and an oscilloscope to verify the input signal. Check the power supply voltage and ensure it is within the specified range. Verify the PCB layout and ensure that the device is properly soldered.
Yes, but impedance matching is required to ensure optimal performance. Use a matching network or a transformer to match the input impedance to the system impedance.
