(1) F_tune2 is the frequency tuning range relative to the specified parameters, this

frequency tuning range has to be inside 38 to 38.5GHz.

(2) Specified within F_tune2

(3) Negative supply voltage must be applied at least 1µs before positive supply voltage

(4) This output is optional, it can be not connected
