b) Passband Frequency Response As shown in Figure, the typical gain of the WHM-AE is. db across. to. GHz. The typical input and output return losses are 7 db and db across the frequency of. to. GHz, respectively. Figure shows the measured P db and IP of the WHM-AE. The typical P db and IP are dbm and dbm in the frequency range of. to. GHz, respectively. Figure illustrates the measured noise figure performance at full temperature. The measured results include the test fixture loss of approximately. db. The noise figure is. db (including. db test fixture loss) across the frequency range of. to. GHz at room temperature. At 8 C, WHM-AE only has. db noise increases. At C, WHM-AE offers approximately. db less noise figure than that at room temperature. Figure demonstrates the stability factor k of the amplifier. Figure is the block diagram of internal circuit of WHM-AE. It is a one-stage amplifier with the DC block capacitors at the input and output RF ports. All the RF matching networks, DC bias circuitries, and temperature compensation circuits are integrated in. Figure 6 demonstrates the application schematic diagram of WHM-AE. It requires the external decoupling capacitors C of. uf to build a LNA with WHM-AE. C is to be as close to Pin as possible. This capacitor eliminates the parasitic. The +V DC is applied at Pin. No DC block capacitor is required for both input and output RF ports. The NC pins connected to ground are recommended. For +V line trace length being longer than 6 inch without a decoupling capacitor, an additional. ~. uf de-coupling capacitor with minimum rating voltage of V may be needed across the +V line to ground. The capacitor must be rated in the temperature range of - C to 8 C to ensure the entire circuit working in the specified temperature range. Figure 7 shows the mechanical outline and recommended motherboard layout of WHM-AE. Plenty of ground vias on the motherboard are essential for the RF grounding. The width of the -Ohm lines at the input and output RF ports may be different for different property of the substrate.
