6. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.

7. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 1000 pF for 100 MHz - 1 GHz, 39 pF for 0.5 - 3 GHz.

Qualification

Qualified to M/A-COM specification REL-201, Process Flow

Handling Procedures

The following precautions should be observed to avoid dam-

age:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to electro-

static discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static elec-

tricity. Proper ESD control techniques should be used when

handling these devices.
