Parameter

Value

PCB Dimensions

2.475” x 1.975” x 0.75”. (63mm x 50mm x 19mm). Four mounting holes for 4-40 screws provided, template in Appendix B.

DC Power Required

Maximum:  15V

Minimum: 13.8V [may not meet specifications below this voltage.

Negative to ground, typical DC current 60-100 mA depending on idle current setting.

Maximum RF Power Input

Do not exceed 100 milliwatts (+20 dBm). IP3 performance specifications are based upon 0 dBm output (approximately -11 dBm signal input); performance not warranted at greater input levels.

 

Test Conditions

Performance data is for a 1:11:4 turns ratio design, 13.8 VDC. Figures stated as “typical” are not warranted.

 

3 dB Bandwidth

100 KHz – 30 MHz. (Typical 3 dB bandwidth 45 KHz – 55 MHz)

 

2^nd and 3^rd Order Intermodulation Intercept

Measured with 3 and 4 MHz input tones, adjusted for 0 dBm output from the Z10043A. Protocol as discussed later in this manual. Intercepts are output referenced.

OIP2: +80 dBm (typically > +90 dBm)

OIP3: +45 dBm (typically +49 to +50 dBm)

 

Gain

11 dB nominal at 1 MHz.

1 dB Gain Compression

+19 dBm input.

Noise Figure

2.5 dB maximum 10-30 MHz. Typically 2 dB or less at 10 MHz. When configured for best noise figure, typically 1.4 dB

Input VSWR

When terminated with 50 ohm load, input VSWR is less than 2:1 over the range 300 KHz – 30 MHz, and is typically below 1.5:1 over this range.
