Notes:
1. Measurements obtained using production test board described in Figure 5. Typical values were determined from a sample size of 398 parts
from 4 wafers.
Figure 5. Block diagram of 2 GHz production test board used for Noise Figure, Gain, P1dB, OIP3, and IIP3 measurements. This circuit represents a trade-
o between an optimal noise match, maximum OIP3 match and associated impedance matching circuit losses. Circuit losses have been de-embedded
from actual measurements.

Notes:
2. The Fmin values are based on a set of 16 noise gure measurements made at 16 di erent impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From
these measurements Fmin is calculated. Refer to the noise parameter measurement section for more information.
3. Measurements taken above and below 2 GHz was made using a double stub tuner at the input tuned for low noise and a double stub tuner at
the output tuned for maximum OIP3. Circuit losses have been de-embedded from actual measurements.
