Product Information
PCS/UMTS-band Variable Gain Amplifier
2140 MHz Application Circuit Performance
Performance using the circuitry on the VG112-PCB Evaluation Board
Circuit Board Material: .014” FR-4, 4 layers, .062” total thickness
•
The center of C5 should be placed 5mm (.197”) away from the edge of the VG112.
•
The input trace is a high impedance line and is needed to get a good input match into the VGA.
•
The board is optimized for performance at 2140 MHz. Performance at 1960 MHz can be
optimized by replacing C5 with 2.7 pF at location A on the WJ VG112 evaluation board.
