Quad MxFE Power Dissipation

Question

What is the typical power dissipation for the Quad MxFE? So not including the FPGA, but just the board (but including the clocking, ADF4371s, etc.). Something like 1.5W/Channel? 
 Thanks,

Hi Jon, 
 The total max power dissipation for the Quad MxFE alone is 111.56 W. 
 On a per channel basis (111.56/(16R + 16T)) the power dissipation is about 3.5 Watts, however this includes the RF front-end and control circuitry as well as the PDN efficiencies.
