Metal layers are 0.5-oz copper. Microstrip 50 line width is 0.021". The microstrip line taper at the connector interface is optimized for the Southwest Microwave end-launch connector 1092-01A-5. The pad pattern shown has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at Qorvo Semiconductor. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to company, careful process development is recommended. Data Sheet Rev.
