Notes:
The gain for the unmatched device in 50 ohm system is shown as the trace in black color. For a tuned circuit for a particular frequency,
it is expected that actual gain will be higher, up to the maximum stable gain. The maximum stable gain is shown in the dashed red line.
The impedance plots are shown from 50 – 6000 MHz, with markers placed at 0.5 – 6.0 GHz in 0.5 GHz increments.

Application Circuit PC Board Layout
Circuit Board Material: .062” total thickness with a .014” Getek top RF layer, 4 layers (other layers added for rigidity),
1 oz copper, Microstrip line details: width = .026”, spacing = .026”
The silk screen markers ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, etc. and ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, etc. are used as placemarkers for the input and output tuning.
