As per the HMC1119 datasheet, the Input Linearity (P1dB) is specified as 31 dBm, while the RF Input Power (maximum recommended operating condition) is listed as 24 dBm.
In my lineup, the input signal level is 19 dBm average power, with a peak of 31 dBm.
Could you please clarify:
-
Should the maximum allowable input level be taken as 24 dBm (RF Input Power) or 31 dBm (P1dB)?
-
With my condition of 19 dBm average and 31 dBm peak, will the device operate reliably without damage or performance degradation?
