Evaluation Board

Input

Output

The SKY65014 evaluation board comprises the SKY65014

amplifier, the input and output of which are connected via 50

Ω

either via the current limit function of an external bench power

given in the Current Limiting Resistor Values Table. The evaluation

resonance of the supply decoupling network out of band. For low

supply current on the evaluation board.

The evaluation board also contains a probe fixture which

facilitates the direct measurement of the s parameters of the

SKY65014. The probe fixture comprises a very short coplanar

waveguide (CPW) transmission line to pin 3 and an identical line

to pin 1. All other pins of the amplifier are grounded. The CPW

transmission lines are compatible with ground-signal-ground

wafer probe tips, which can be connected to the RF ports of a

vector network analyzer (VNA) via coaxial cables. The very small

electrical length of these CPW transmission lines obviates the

need to de-embed their effects from the s parameters that are

measured. The supply constant current must be applied via the

bias tee, which is typically integrated into the VNA, which is

cascade with the output pin of the amplifier.
