Based on typically Ro4003 / 8mils or equivalent. Using a microstrip to coplanar transition to access the package. Recommended for the implementation of this product on a module board. 10nF capacitor 0603 Hybric coupler 90° Anaren 11306-3 Vdl Gnd Vgx Vgm Vdx The DC connections do not include any decoupling capacitor in package, therefore it is mandatory to provide a good external DC decoupling on the PC board, as close as possible to the package. The SMD leadless package has been designed for high volume surface mount PCB assembly process. A typical footprint is proposed for the PCB (motherboard) in the previous drawing. For the mounting process standard techniques involving solder paste and a suitable reflow process can be used. For further details, see application note AN0017.
