M/A-COM recommends an FR-4 dielectric thickness of 0.008” (0.20 mm) yielding a 50 Ω line width of 0.015” (0.38 mm). The recommended RF metalization is 1 ounce copper. Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should be used when handling these devices. 3 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM is considering for • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 / Fax: 978.366.2266 development.
