Layout Considerations

Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to minimize
losses and radiation. Use high Q components for the
LNA input-matching circuit to achieve the lowest possi-
ble noise figure. At the digital mixer outputs, keep the
differential signal lines together and of equal length to
ensure signal balance. For best gain and noise perfor-
mance, solder the exposed paddle evenly to the board
ground plane.
