For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose values has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/sink more than 4mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 7 RF Port RF Port: This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm from 9.5 - 15.0 GHz.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
