If duty cycling is not an option whilst operating at maximum output power, it is recommended to implement a notch filter or band stop filter to meet the FCC requirements for the 2nd harmonic. The notch filter given in Figure 3-1 consists of one inductor in series with a capacitor. The values of the components as shown in Figure 3-1 is derived by Equation 2, and should sufficiently attenuate the 2nd harmonic. Where L is an inductor and Ctot is the sum of the capacitor C and the parasitic capacitance from the layout. The filter should be connected to the unbalanced port of the PA IPC. However, if a switch is utilized it would be beneficial to place it at the common port of the RF switch so all RF ports will benefit from the additional filtering.
