Diagram of the port configuration for MT3A-0113HCH-2

Port Functions

Port	Function	Description	DC Equivalent Circuit
GND	Ground	CH package ground path is provided through the substrate and ground bond pads.
Port 1	LO	The LO port is DC blocked and AC matched to 50 Ohms from 1 GHz to 13 GHz.
Port 2	IF	The IF port is DC blocked and AC matched to 50 Ohms from 500 MHz to 8.5 GHz.
Port 3	RF	The RF port is DC short to ground and AC matched to 50 Ohms from 1 GHz to 13 GHz. Blocking capacitor is optional.	-
Port 4	VC	Port VC is the DC voltage supply for that supplies the amplifier’s collector current. It is connected internally through the amplifier die’s RF output port.
Port 5	VB	Port VB is the DC voltage bias for the current mirror that controls collector current supplied to the amplifier. Larger voltages result in a higher current draw through port VC, effectively functioning as a gain control pin of the amplifier
