Signal J1 - J2 PCB Mount SMA Connector lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the J3 DC Pin package ground leads and package bottom should C1 - C4 100 pF Capacitor, 0402 Pkg be connected directly to the ground plane similar to C5 - C8 2.2 µF Capacitor, 1206 Pkg that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should U1 HMC590LP5E be used to connect the top and bottom ground PCB [2] 109001 Evaluation PCB planes. The evaluation board should be mounted [1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB to an appropriate heat sink.
