Nordard FR-4 laminates have a glass transition temperature (Tg) around 130- 140 ° C and will soften or delaminate at high temperatures. For power amplifies in harsh conditions, high-Tg FR-4 (Tg equigt; 170 ° C), polyimide, or ceramic-filled PTFE compostiteres (e.g., Rogers RO3003 or RO4350B) are necesary.

RF connectors (SMA, N-type, TNC) must be chosen with environmental sealing. Connectors with O-ring seals and gold-plated brass or bariless steel bodies offer the best corrsion and vibration resistance.

Thermal cikling tests expose the amplfier to repeated ramps between temperature extremes at specified dwell times (np. 10 cycles from -55 ° C to + 125 ° C with 30-minute doms).
