This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RFIN Connection to ground. Use via holes as close as possible to the ground leads to minimize inductance. GND output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operRFOUT/BIAS RF ation.
