NOTES:
・ L1 and L2 form the input matching circuit. The LNA has integrated coupling and DC-blocking capacitor at
the input.
・ L3 is a matching inductor of the integrated 1st amplifier and 2nd amplifier. It should be connected to the
terminal3 as close as possible.
・ L4 is an output matching inductor.
・ C1 is a coupling and DC-blocking capacitor at the output.
・ C2 and C3 are bypass capacitors. They should be connected between L3 and L4. C2 should be placed to
the side of L3, and C3 should be placed to the side of L4, and should not be directly connected L3 and L4.
・ R1 is a stability resistor at high frequency, and it should be connected to the terminal1.
・ Ground terminal (No.2, 5, 6) should be connected to the ground plane as close as possible for good RF
performance.
・ For good performance, the terminal1,3 and 4 should not be coupled though floating-capacitance which
exists between RF transmission lines.
