In some applications, a feedback resistor R1 may
be added in series with L1, as shown in Figure 22,
for improved stability or to serve as a voltage drop
for operation from higher supply voltages.

Evaluation Boards
A versatile evaluation board that enables users
to measure actual device performance has been
developed for the AGB Series Gain Blocks. The
generic layout allows the user to implement a wide variety of matching circuits, in order to assess
performance for a particular application.
The evaluation board is 1.0” square, and is
fabricated on 0.031” thick FR-4 material. Figures
23 and 24 show the via hole locations and the
layout pattern on both sides of the evaluation board. The vias have a 0.010” diameter and are plated
through.

Recommended matching circuits for various
applications, as well as wideband S-parameters
to use in the simulation of custom designs, are
included in this data sheet. For a particular
application not addressed in the data sheet, please
consult with an ANADIGICS Sales Reperesentative
or Application Engineer.
LE
Matching for RF Performance
The AGB3300 Gain Block amplifier can be used in
many fixed wireless frequency bands, such as the
824-894 MHz U.S. cellular bands, the 1850-1990
MHz PCS band, the 880-960 MHz GSM band, the
2400-2500 MHz ISM band, and the 2500-2686
MHz MMDS band. Reactive matching circuits may
be designed
for both the input and output, in order to optimize
the RF performance for a particular application. For
example, gain, linearity (OIP3) and return loss may
be improved over a particular frequency band of
interest.
TE
Bias Circuit
A schematic of the basic, unmatched bias circuit
for the AGB Series Gain Blocks is shown in Figure
21. The RF input and output terminations are 50W. Inductor L1 provides DC power from Vsupply and
serves as an RF choke to maintain desired AC
performance. The input capacitor C1 and output
capacitor C2 are RF blocks that isolate DC current
from adjacent circuits. Capacitor C3 is used as an
RF bypass that minimizes noise from the supply.

ESD Sensitivity
Electrostatic discharges can cause permanent
damage to this device. Electrostatic discharges
accumulate on test equipment and the human
body, and can discharge without detection. Although the AGB3300 has some internal ESD
protection, proper precautions and handling are
strongly recommended. Refer to the ANADIGICS
application note on ESD precautions.
