1. Tested using characterization test circuit as defined in Figure 1.

See graphs and data above for performances at all other frequencies.

2. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.

3. Case is defined as ground lead.

4. RF Power at 25°C case temperature: 2W. Derate linearly to 0.33W at 125°C.
