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 microstrip lines. Avoid vias and thermal pads under the device.
Use a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K between the device and the heat sink. Ensure good airflow and avoid blocking the airflow around the device.
Power up the device in the following sequence: VCC, then VEN, then RF input. Power down in the reverse sequence. This ensures proper biasing and prevents damage to the device.
Check the PCB layout for any defects or damage. Verify the power supply voltage and current. Check the RF input and output connections for any damage or corrosion. Use a spectrum analyzer to measure the output spectrum and identify any spurious signals.
Yes, but ensure that the two devices are properly matched and biased. Use a common mode choke or a balun to combine the outputs. Take care to maintain the same thermal environment for both devices.
