A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the RF traces short and away from the digital lines. Use a common mode filter or a pi-filter to reduce EMI.
Ensure the VCC pin is connected to a stable 3.3V power supply, and the VEN pin is tied to a logic high (3.3V) to enable the device. Use a 10uF capacitor between VCC and GND to filter out noise.
The TQP369180 can handle up to 30 dBm (1W) of input power. However, it's recommended to operate at 20 dBm (0.1W) or less to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Use a spectrum analyzer to check the output frequency and power. Verify the input signal is within the specified frequency range and power level. Check the PCB layout for any signs of damage or poor soldering.
The TQP369180 is rated for operation up to 85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the device by 1 dB for every 10°C above 70°C to ensure reliability and prevent thermal shutdown.
