Recommended PCB Configuration

Layout View

The PCB dielectric between RF traces and RF ground

layers should be chosen to reduce RF discontinuities

between 50

Ω lines and package pins.

M/A-COM

recommends an FR-4 dielectric thickness of 0.008” (0.2

mm) yielding a 50

Ω line width of 0.015” (0.38 mm). The

recommended metalization is 1 oz. copper.
