FDAs have a feature to externally drive output common mode (Vocm). This feature can be utilized by populating equivalent value resistors for R1 and R2 to VCC+ and VCC-. This sets the output common mode to mid-supply, a common configuration. Additionally, the option to drive Vocm with the SMA connector exists. For this use case, do not populate R1 or R2. If there is need to terminate the Vocm signal source into 50-Ω, C3 can be replaced by a 50-Ω resistor.
