HMC742A Supply voltage range

Question

Hi 
 The datasheet of HMC742 does not mention any range for the input supply for the device. Since all of the circuit in my board works on 3.3 V or lower and have limited space I cannot go for a device with 5V supply. Please let me know if the device would work at 3.3 V and if so, what changes in its characteristics are to be expected? 
 
 Thank you

Hi Ashwin,

At 3.3V operation, Insertion loss is expected to be worsened to begin. Additionally, compression level is expected to be derated.
I did preliminary test with -5dBm RF input and insertion loss gets worse 0.5dB compared to 5V supply case. Similarly, Insertion loss gets worse 1.5dB when the input power is 10dBm.

Best regards,
