Notes:

1. Typical switching speed is measured from 10% to 90% of the detected RF voltage driven by a TTL

compatible driver. Driver output parallel RC network uses a capacitor between 390 pF - 560 pF and

a resistor between 150 - 220 Ohms to achieve 10 ns rise and fall times.

2. Bias nodes, J1 and B may be connected together
