NOTES:
1. DC blocking capacitor.
2. LNA emitter degenerator. As the value of inductance is increased, the gain will decrease, and the IIP3 will increase.
3. Mixer preamp degeneration inductor. As the value of inductance is increased, the gain will decrease, and the IIP3 will increase.
4. An external resistor connected to this pin sets the current of the preamp and the mixer. Higher resistance to ground results in lower current. See chart at end of datasheet.
5. An external resistor connected to this pin sets the current of the LNA when IPSET is high. Higher resistance to ground results in lower current. See chart at end of datasheet.
6. Mixer input matching inductor.
7. LO input matching resistor.
8. Bypass capacitor.
9. LNA output matching and bias choke.
10. For stability of the LNA.
11. LNA input and output matching.
12. Low pass path to ground for two-tone beat frequency for optimum IIP3 of LNA.
