connector interface is optimized for the Southwest Microwave end launch connector 1092-02A-5.
The trace pattern shown has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at Qorvo. The PCB land pattern has
been developed to accommodate lead tolerances. Since processes vary from company to company, careful process
development is recommended.
For pulsed applications, only. Increased pulse width and/or duty cycle results in lower power handling capability of the
EVB.
Notes:
1. Ground / thermal vias under the DUT are critical for the proper performance of this device.
2. The EVB shown herein utilizes copper filled vias (10 mil diameter) under the DUT to maximize heat transfer away
from the DUT under large signal conditions.
3. Thermal dissipation is low for normal non-limiting operation.
