Designing with the MA02303GJ
The MA02303GJ is built using a near-enhancement mode FET that operates from a single supply voltage. A negative
voltage is not required because the FET is designed to operate with a +0V DC gate bias.
There is no impedance matching or RF choking on this IC these functions are supplied externally. This approach offers the
highest level of performance, the lowest bill of materials cost, and far fewer components than a discrete design.
To duplicate MA02303GJ data sheet performance, your circuit board must recreate the same impedances developed on this
evaluation board. The table below has one-port s-parameter measurements looking into the traces on the evaluation board.
S-parameters of the MA02303GJ are not supplied because the device is designed to operate under large-signal conditions.
