For higher IF frequencies, consult IF response curve for typical roll-off. Environmental conditions: All units are designed to meet their specifications between -54°C and +100°C and after exposure to any or all of the following tests per MIL-STD-202E. Thermal Shock: Method 107D, Test Condition B Altitude: Method 105C, Test Condition G H.F. Vibration: Method 204C, Test Condition D Mechanical Shock: Method 213B, Test Condition C Random Vibration (15 minutes per axis): Method 214, Test Condition IIF Solderability: Method 208C Terminal Strength: Method 211A, Test Condition C Resistance to Soldering Heat: Method 210A, Test Condition B Sealed units meet the requirements of Method 106D of MIL-STD-202E when exposed to humidity. Caution! ESD sensitive device. Exceeding any one or a combination of the Absolute Maximum Rating conditions may cause permanent damage to the device. Extended application of Absolute Maximum Rating conditions to the device may reduce device reliability. Specified typical performance or functional operation of the device under Absolute Maximum Rating conditions is not implied. Nominal Operating Parameters Specification Parameter Unit Min Typ Condition Max General Performance LO +7dBm (High side LO), RF -10dBm, IF 100MHz Operating Frequency Range L Port 5 1500 MHz R Port 5 1500 MHz X Port DC 1400 MHz Specifications guaranteed with IF from DC to 500MHz. For higher IF frequencies, consult IF response curve for typical roll-off. For best performance do not rely on the ground pin alone for grounding. The above performance is guaranteed with the base surface of the header grounded to the circuit board ground plane. Use of the conductive epoxy or a mechanical clip is recommended.
