... RF2173 Pin Function Description 1 GND Internally connected to the ground slug. 2 GND2 Ground connection for the driver stage. To minimize the noise power at the output recommended to connect this pin with a trace of about 40mil to the ground plane. This will slightly reduce the small signal gain, and lower the noise power important for stability that this pin have it’ ...

... RF2173 Theory of Operation and Application Information The RF2173 is a three-stage device with 32 dB gain at full power. Therefore, the drive required to fully saturate the output is +3dBm. Based upon HBT (Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) technology, the part requires only a single positive 3V supply to operate to full specification. Power control is provided through a single pin interface, with a separate Power Down control pin. ...

... Pulse Generator Notes about testing the RF2173 The test setup shown above includes two attenuators. The 3dB pad at the input is to minimize the effects that the switching of the input impedance of the PA has on the signal generator. When V change can cause the signal generator to vary its output signal, either in output level or in frequency. Instead of an attenuator an isolator may also be used ...
