** At 25°C; +30 dBm typ. at 54°C ambient.
Open load is not recommended, potentially can cause damage.
With no load derate max input power by 20 dB
To order without heat sink, add suffix X to model number. Alternative heat sinking and heat
removal must be provided by the user to limit maximum base-plate temperature to 85°C, in
order to ensure proper performance. For reference, this requires thermal resistance of user’s
external heat sink to be 1.3°C/W Max.
