5. R1 and R2 values equal to ((Applied Bias Voltage) - (Forward
Voltage of Diode)) / (Ibias) where the Forward Voltage of
Diode (Vf) can be approximated as 1 V. The size of the
package will depend on the power rating needed.
6. Not shown, adding an LC network to pin 12 can improve RX
performance between 2.0 and 2.7 GHz but may limit
performance above 3.0 GHz. For broadband applications
MACOM recommends not using pin 12 and not connecting it to
any metal trace.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Silicon Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these Class 1C
Human Body devices.
11. Minimum DC bias voltage to maintain low loss under 120 W
of Tx power with 1.5:1 VSWR
12. The MADR-009150 switch driver has a maximum output
voltage of 55 V. If a higher output voltage is desired, then
one may want to consider using the MADR-010574 switch
driver.
