Notes
1. The module is fully matched at the input and output RF pins. The RFin pin is directly connected to a shunt inductor that is grounded. The RF output
2. C2 and L2 form a matching network that affects the frequency response and linearity of the LNA, these can be tuned to optimize gain and return
3. L1 and R1 isolates the demoboard from external disturbances during measurement. It is not needed in actual application. Likewise, C1 and C3
4. Bias control is achieved by either varying the Vsd voltage with/ without R2, or fixing the Vsd voltage to Vdd and adjusting R2 for the desired
