Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required frequency range of 1.2 GHz to 2.3 GHz before procurement. Confirm that the supply chain source provides official documentation or datasheets to ensure component authenticity. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure that the receiving facility has appropriate ESD protection protocols during handling. Validate that the surface-mount footprint dimensions align with your PCB design specifications prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range exceeding 1 GHz is required in a single package. Consider the 4 dBm output power level against your downstream amplifier requirements. Evaluate the 5 MHz/V pushing factor against your system's stability needs under varying load conditions. Compare the 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm footprint against available board real estate constraints. Assess the -40°C to +85°C operating range against your environmental deployment conditions.
