Port Configuration and Functions
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Connector Type | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | - | Exterior housing and ground lug must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. Ensure that the ground voltage is a common reference potential to all DC power supplies. |  |
| RF In | RF Input | 1.85F | This is the RF Input port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. |  |
| RF Out | RF Output | 1.85M | This is the RF Output port of the amplifier module. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. |  |
| VB | Positive Bias Pin | - | The positive bias pin activates an internal negative voltage generator and a voltage sequencer when a 5V bias is applied externally. Nominally applies 3.5V to Vd and -0.5V to Vg at the amplifier level. |  |
