Whether the HMC311ST89 can be used to enlarge the RZ signal

Question

I want to use HMC311ST89 to amplify the RZ signal like the data rate is 5Gbps and the Periodic code type is " 1000 " ,whether it is feasible? 
 Looking forward to your soonest reply! 
 Thank you!

Hi mr.all, 
 Since your signal type is RZ, the low freq cut off will not play a crucial role. Even with NRZ 1000, the low freq cutoff goes to 2.5 MHz, which will not be a problem for HMC311ST89. 
 Assuming 1000 is not binary, if you meant binary 1000, then low freq will be higher; hence easier implementation. 
 HMC311ST89 can operate up to 6 GHz, so 2.5 - 3 GHz will not be a problem. 
 As it is seen on the `Recommended Component Values` section on the DS, you may need to use a wideband RF choke inductor to cover 1 MHz -3 GHz range. Which means using a conical inductor or multiple inductors is series. 
 As long as the performance parameters like gain flatness, etc. on the DS meets your requirements, there will not be any problems. 
 Best,
