This is the bare PCB of the evaluation PCB kit (see Figure 83).

It is recommended that the application circuit board use RF circuit

design techniques. Use signal lines with a 50 Ω impedance, and

connect the package ground leads and exposed pad directly to

the ground plane. Use a sufficient number of via holes to connect

the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board

shown in Figure 83 is available from Analog Devices, Inc., upon

request.
