4. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting –5 volts to pin 4

sequence.

5. RF ground and thermal interface is the flange (case bottom).

Adequate heat sinking is required.

6. No DC bias voltage appears at the RF ports.

should be placed within 0.5 inches of pin 6.

8. Resistor and capacitors surrounding the amplifier are

suggestions and not included as part of the AM42-0007.
