For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports. 4. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value. For use above 2.5 GHz, M/A-COM recommends using smaller capacitor values. For example, use 5 pF for 3.2 GHz. 2 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
