This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for RF IN 1 the frequency of operation. RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in Recommended Ap- plication Circuit, Fig. 2 Connections to ground.
