  • Sir,

    Finally I could find out the problem.The pad of LNA detached (very very small portion) from the body.The image attached is taken using a magnifier having 110 zoom.HMC 587 output is divided using stripline power divider and given to ADF4156 and LNA.When particular temperature window some mismatch happening and reflects the power from that point and it reduces overall power level.At that particular time ADF4156 is not getting sufficient level.Replaced  LNA and solved the issue.

    Thank you for the suggestions and feedback
