Notes:
1. The primary RF microstrip line is 50
Ω.
2. Components shown on the silkscreen but not on the schematic are not used.
3. C20 is not required in the final design if there is no DC signal present at the output of the
amplifier circuit.
4. The center of C24 is placed at 0.280” (11.5° @ 940 MHz) from the edge of the AP602 (U1).
5. The center of L10 is placed at 0.570” (23.4° @ 940 MHz) from the edge of the AP602 (U1).
6. The center of C19 is placed at 0.050” (2.1° @ 940 MHz) the center of L10.
7. The bold-faced RF trace is for the DC bias feed. The stub’s length is approximately a ¼
λ.
8. The main RF trace is cut at component L3 and L4 for this particular reference design.
