• Supports standard DC voltage inputs for stable operation during testing procedures
• Facilitates measurement of average power handling capabilities within defined operational limits

Applications

• Evaluation of RF amplifier characteristics in the 3.3-3.6 GHz range
• Verification of component power handling specifications
• Development and testing of RF circuits requiring controlled signal generation

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as this item may be subject to special order requirements. Confirm that the specific revision suffix matches your design documentation. Ensure compatibility with existing test equipment before procurement. Request official datasheets to validate all electrical parameters against your project specifications prior to finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this evaluation board when detailed characterization of RF components in the 3.3-3.6 GHz band is required. It is suitable for engineering teams needing to verify power and frequency performance under controlled laboratory conditions. Consider the 48V supply requirement and 39.5 dBm power limit when designing test setups. This tool is intended for development phases rather than mass production environments.
