Evaluation PCB for HMC323

The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have

50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the

ground plane similar to that shown above. A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used to connect the top

and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board as shown is available from Hittite upon request.
