Integration Considerations

Plan the power supply, RF connections and thermal management around the electrical and mechanical specifications shown above. Contact QHXK for configuration options and documentation.

1520–1650 MHz, 100 W model overview

This module is specified for 1520–1650 MHz, with CW output of at least 50 dBm (100 W) and customized gain of at least 49 dB. The published table lists gain flatness of ≤1±1 dB, input VSWR of ≤1.6, input power of 1±1 dBm and maximum input of +6 dBm.

RF connection and electrical integration

The RF interface is identified as RFIN-SMA-F and RFOUT-SMA-F. The working-voltage range is +28 V to +32 V, with operating current listed as ≤9–10 A. The table also provides a 28 V/12 A supply reference; confirm the correct power-supply capacity for the exact product revision. The PTT port is listed as default off, with 3.3–5 V for on.

Other listed values include spurious output of ≤−65 dBc, harmonic level of ≤−25 dBc, over-temperature protection above 80°C, open-circuit protection and an operating-temperature range of −40°C to +55°C. Verify the published curves and test conditions before using these values as system acceptance criteria.

What to verify before integration

• Confirm the required frequency range is within 1520–1650 MHz.
• Check CW output, gain and flatness at the required operating frequencies.
• Verify the separate SMA-F input and output connections.
• Confirm DC supply, current budget and PTT control.
• Review thermal requirements, mounting details and the current mechanical drawing.

Frequently asked questions

What does 50 dBm represent?

50 dBm corresponds to 100 W. The product table specifies CW output of ≥50 dBm; confirm the test setup and guaranteed limits in the current datasheet.

Can I use the module outside 1520–1650 MHz?

The published operating range is 1520–1650 MHz. Any requirement outside this range should be confirmed with the manufacturer in writing.
