Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C Notes on RF Testing and Circuit Layout The X3C09P2-30S Surface Mount Couplers require the use of a test fixture for verification of RF performance. This test fixture is designed to evaluate the coupler in the same environment that is recommended for installation. Enclosed inside the test fixture, is a circuit board that is fabricated using the recommended footprint. The part being tested is placed into the test fixture and pressure is applied to the top of the device using a pneumatic piston. A four port Vector Network Analyzer is connected to the fixture and is used to measure the S-parameters of the part. Worst case values for each parameter are found and compared to the specification. These worst case values are reported to the test equipment operator along with a Pass or Fail flag. See the illustrations below.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C The effects of the test fixture on the measured data must be minimized in order to accurately determine the performance of the device under test. If the line impedance is anything other than 50 and/or there is a discontinuity at the microstrip to SMA interface, there will be errors in the data for the device under test. The test environment can never be “perfect”, but the procedure used to build and evaluate the test boards (outlined below) demonstrates an attempt to minimize the errors associated with testing these devices. The lower the signal level that is being measured, the more impact the fixture errors will have on the data. Parameters such as Return Loss and Isolation/Directivity, which are specified as low as 27dB and typically measure at much lower levels, will present the greatest measurement challenge. The test fixture errors introduce an uncertainty to the measured data. Fixture errors can make the performance of the device under test look better or worse than it actually is. For example, if a device has a known return loss of 30dB and a discontinuity with a magnitude of –35dB is introduced into the measurement path, the new measured Return Loss data could read anywhere between –26dB and –37dB. This same discontinuity could introduce an insertion phase error of up to 1. There are different techniques used throughout the industry to minimize the affects of the test fixture on the measurement data. Anaren uses the following design and de-embedding criteria:  Test boards have been designed and parameters specified to provide trace impedances of 50 1. Furthermore, discontinuities at the SMA to microstrip interface are required to be less than –35dB and insertion phase errors (due to differences in the connector interface discontinuities and the electrical line length) should be less than 0.25 from the median value of the four paths.  A “Thru” circuit board is built. This is a two port, microstrip board that uses the same SMA to microstrip interface and has the same total length (insertion phase) as the actual test board. The “Thru” board must meet the same stringent requirements as the test board. The insertion loss and insertion phase of the “Thru” board are measured and stored. This data is used to completely de-embed the device under test from the test fixture. The de-embedded data is available in S-parameter form on the Anaren website (www.anaren.com). Note: The S-parameter files that are available on the anaren.com website include data for frequencies that are outside of the specified band. It is important to note that the test fixture is designed for optimum performance through 2.3GHz. Some degradation in the test fixture performance will occur above this frequency and connector interface discontinuities of –25dB or more can be expected. This larger discontinuity will affect the data at frequencies above 2.3GHz. Circuit Board Layout The dimensions for the Anaren test board are shown below. The test board is printed on Rogers RO4350 material that is 0.030” thick. Consider the case when a different material is used. First, the pad size must remain the same to accommodate the part. But, if the material thickness or dielectric constant (or both) changes, the reactance at the interface to the coupler will also change. Second, the linewidth required for 50 will be different and this will introduce a step in the line at the pad where the coupler interfaces with the printed microstrip trace. Both of these conditions will affect the performance of the part. To achieve the specified performance, serious attention must be given to the design and layout of the circuit environment in which this component will be used. If a different circuit board material is used, an attempt should be made to achieve the same interface pad reactance that is present on the Anaren RO4350 test board. When thinner circuit board material is used, the ground plane will be closer to the pad yielding more capacitance for the same size interface pad. The same is true if the dielectric constant of the circuit board material is higher than is used on the Anaren test board. In both of these cases, narrowing the line before the interface pad will introduce a series inductance, which, when properly tuned, will compensate for the extra capacitive reactance. If a thicker circuit board or one with a lower dielectric constant is used, USA/Canada: (315) 432-8909 Available on Tape and Toll Free: (800) 411-6596 Reel for Pick and Place Europe: +44 2392-232392 Manufacturing.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C the interface pad will have less capacitive reactance than the Anaren test board. In this case, a wider section of line before the interface pad (or a larger interface pad) will introduce a shunt capacitance and when properly tuned will match the performance of the Anaren test board. Notice that the board layout for the 3dB and 5dB couplers is different from that of the 10dB and 20dB couplers. The test board for the 3dB and 5dB couplers has all four traces interfacing with the coupler at the same angle. The test board for the 10dB, 20dB and 30dB couplers has two traces approaching at one angle and the other two traces at a different angle. The entry angle of the traces has a significant impact on the RF performance and these parts have been optimized for the layout used on the test boards shown below. 30dB Test Board Testing Sample Parts Supplied on Anaren Test Boards If you have received a coupler installed on an Anaren produced microstrip test board, please remember to remove the loss of the test board from the measured data. The loss is small enough that it is not of concern for Return Loss and Isolation/Directivity, but it should certainly be considered when measuring coupling and calculating the insertion loss of the coupler. An S-parameter file for a “Thru” board (see description of “Thru” board above) will be supplied upon request. As a first order approximation, one should consider the following loss estimates: Frequency Band Avg. Ins. Loss of Test Board @ 25C 410 – 500 MHz ~ 0.04dB 800 - 1000 MHz ~ 0.06dB 1700 – 2300 MHz ~0.14dB 2300 – 2700 MHz ~0.155dB 3300 – 3800 MHz ~0.20dB For example, a 1900MHz, 10dB coupler on a test board may measure –10.30dB from input to the coupled port at some frequency, F1. When the loss of the test board is removed, the coupling at F1 becomes -10.18dB (-10.30dB + 0.12dB). This compensation must be made to both the coupled and direct path measurements when calculating insertion loss. The loss estimates in the table above come from room temperature measurements. It is important to note that the loss of the test board will change with temperature. This fact must be considered if the coupler is to be evaluated at other temperatures.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C Peak Power Handling High-Pot testing of these couplers during the qualification procedure resulted in a minimum breakdown voltage of 1.40 kV. This voltage level corresponds to a breakdown resistance capable of handling at least 12dB peaks over average power levels, for very short durations. The breakdown location consistently occurred across the air interface at the coupler contact pads (see illustration below). The breakdown levels at these points will be affected by any contamination in the gap area around these pads. These areas must be kept clean for optimum performance. It is recommended that the user test for voltage breakdown under the maximum operating conditions and over worst case modulation induced power peaking. This evaluation should also include extreme environmental conditions (such as high humidity). Orientation Marker A printed circular feature appears on the top surface of the coupler to designate Pin 1. This orientation marker is not intended to limit the use of the symmetry that these couplers exhibit but rather to facilitate consistent placement of these parts into the tape and reel package. This ensures that the components are always delivered with the same orientation. Refer to the table on page 2 of the data sheet for allowable pin configurations. Test Plan Xinger III 30dB couplers are manufactured in large panels and then separated. A sample population of parts is RF small signal tested at room temperature in the fixture described above.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C Power Handling The average power handling (total input power) of a Xinger coupler is a function of:  Internal circuit temperature.  Unit mounting interface temperature.  Unit thermal resistance  Power dissipated within the unit. All thermal calculations are based on the following assumptions:  The unit has reached a steady state operating condition.  Maximum mounting interface temperature is 95oC.  Conduction Heat Transfer through the mounting interface.  No Convection Heat Transfer.  No Radiation Heat Transfer.  The material properties are constant over the operating temperature range. Finite element simulations are made for each unit. The simulation results are used to calculate the unit thermal resistance. The finite element simulation requires the following inputs:  Unit material stack-up.  Material properties.  Circuit geometry.  Mounting interface temperature.  Thermal load (dissipated power). The classical definition for dissipated power is temperature delta (T) divided by thermal resistance (R).

Assuming the coupler is not ideal, and that there are in no radiation losses, power will exit the coupler at all four ports.

Multiple material combinations and bonding techniques are used within the Xinger III product family to optimize RF performance. Consequently the maximum allowable circuit temperature varies. Please note that the circuit temperature is not a function of the Xinger case (top surface) temperature. Therefore, the case temperature cannot be used as a boundary condition for power handling calculations. Due to the numerous board materials and mounting configurations used in specific customer configurations, it is the end users responsibility to ensure that the Xinger III coupler mounting interface temperature is maintained within the limits defined on the power derating plots for the required average power handling. Additionally appropriate solder composition is required to prevent reflow or fatigue failure at the RF ports. Finally, reliability is improved when the mounting interface and RF port temperatures are kept to a minimum. The power-derating curve illustrates how changes in the mounting interface temperature result in converse changes of the power handling of the coupler.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C Mounting Coupler Mounting Process In order for Xinger surface mount couplers to work optimally, there must be 50Ω transmission lines leading The process for assembling this component is a to and from all of the RF ports.

Mounting to “hard” substrates (alumina etc.) is possible depending upon operational temperature requirements. The solder surfaces of the coupler are all copper plated with either an immersion tin or tin-lead exterior finish. Solder Paste: All conventional solder paste formulations will work well with Anaren’s Xinger III surface mount components. Solder paste can be applied with stencils or syringe dispensers. An example of a stenciled solder paste deposit is shown in Figure 2. As shown in the figure solder paste is applied to the four RF pads and the entire ground plane underneath the body of the part.

A low and high temperature thermal reflow profile are shown in Figures 5 and 6, respectively. Manual soldering of these components can be done with conventional surface mount non-contact hot air soldering tools. Board pre-heating is highly recommended for these selective hot air soldering methods. Manual soldering with conventional irons should be avoided.

Model X3C09P2-30S Rev C Application Information Directional Couplers and Sampling Directional couplers are often used in circuits that require the sampling of an arbitrary signal. Because they are passive, non-linear devices, Anaren directional couplers do not perturb the characteristics of the signal to be sampled, and can be used for frequency monitoring and/or measurement of RF power. An example of a sampling circuit is the reflectometer. The purpose of the reflectometer is to isolate and sample the incident and reflected signals from a mismatched load. A basic reflectometer circuit is shown in Figure ap.n.1-1. V input 1 2 LOAD Reflected Wave 4 3 V V I R Figure ap.n.1-1. A Reflectometer Circuit Schematic If the directional coupler has perfect directivity, then it is clear that V is strictly a sample of the incident voltage V , I input and V is strictly a sample of the wave that is reflected from the load. Since directivity is never perfect in practice, both R V and V will contain samples of the input signal as well as the reflected signal. In that case, I R V  C  CDTej I Eq. ap.n.1-1 and V  CD  CTej R Eq. ap.n.1-2 where C is the coupling, D is the directivity,  is the complex reflection coefficient of the load, T is the transmission coefficient, and  and  are unknown phase delay differences caused by the interconnect lines on the test board. If we know V and V , we can easily calculate the reflection coefficient of the load. One should notice that in order to make I R forward and reverse measurements using only one coupler, the directivity must be really low. In specific customer applications, the preferred method for forward and reverse sampling is shown in Figure ap.n.1-2.

Forward and Reverse Sampling The isolator in Figure ap.n.1-2 prevents the reflected wave from exciting the directional coupler. A list of recommended terminations is shown in the figure. Directional Couplers in Feed-Forward Amplifier Applications Feed-forward amplifiers are widely used to reduce distortion due to nonlinearities in power amplifiers. Although the level and complexity of feed-forward amplifiers varies from one manufacturer to another, the basic building block for this linearization scheme remains the same. A basic feed-forward schematic is shown in Figure ap.n.2-1. The input signal is split in two using a hybrid coupler or power divider. The output of the main amplifier is sampled with a 20dB-30dB directional coupler. The X3C09P2-30S is an excellent candidate for this sampling since it provides great return loss and directivity. The sampled signal, which consists of a sample of the original input signal plus some distortion, is inverted and then combined with the output of the first delay line. This procedure subtracts (through destructive interference) the sample of the original input signal, leaving only the distortion or error component. The error component is then amplified and combined with the output of the second delay line using another directional coupler. In many cases, a 10dB coupler is used to combine the two signals. The XC0900E-10 is a perfect choice for this injection because it has tight coupling, superior directivity, and excellent match.

Generic Feed Forward Circuit Schematic Both directional couplers in the Figure ap.n.2-1 have one port terminated with a 50 resistor. In order to achieve optimum performance, the termination must be chosen carefully. It is important to remember that a good termination will not only produce a good match at the input of the coupler, but will also maximize the isolation between the input port and isolated port. Furthermore, since the termination can potentially absorb high levels of power, its maximum power rating should be chosen accordingly. A list of recommended terminations is shown in Figure ap.n.2-1. For an ideal lossless directional coupler, the power at the coupled and direct ports can be written as: P input P  Watts coupled Coupling(dB) Eq. ap.n.2-1 10 10 P P  P  input Watts direct input Coupling(dB) Eq. ap.n.2-2 10 10 where P is the input power in Watts, and Coupling(dB) is the coupling value in dB. input Available on Tape USA/Canada: (315) 432-8909 and Reel for Pick and Toll Free: (800) 411-6596 Place Manufacturing.
