Design Considerations for >12 GHz operation

While the NB7L216 is specified to operate at 12 GHz, this

evaluation board is designed to support operating
frequencies up to 20 GHz.

The following considerations played a key role to ensure

this evaluation board achieves high

end microwave

performance:

Optimal SMA connector launch

Minimal insertion loss and signal dispersion

Accurate Transmission line matching (50 ohms)

Distributed effects while bypassing and noise filtering
