Power divioder power rating

[bhagavanec67]

hello everybody,


how to define a dynamic range of a power amplifier. I gone through the POZAR text book for POWER divider but failed to found it. Please help me regarding this.

Thanking you all

the lower limit: input a low level signal, until you can tell the amplified signal and noise floor in SA.
the upper limit is P1dB.

Hello every body,


Thanks tony. I am trying to fix all other parameters of my design keeping power handling a side.


i designed divde with center frequency of 2 GHz with 50 ohm termination at both input and output ports. Now all i want is how can I calaculate the MIn and MAX input RF power that my design will accept. If any calculation part is there please let me know. I came to know that PCB material will also one of the factors of Power handling. Kindly guide me through this problem to vanish my doubts.

Thanks and regards,

Bhagavan
