Data obtained from 2.4-mm connecter based modules, and this data is including connecter loss, and board loss. The measurement reference plane is at the RF connectors. 7 Biasing and Operation. Recommended quiescent DC bias condition for optimum power and linearity performances is Vd=5 volts with Vg (-1V) set for Id=450 mA. Minor improvements in performance are possible depending on the application. The drain bias voltage range is 3 to 5V. A single DC gate supply connected to Vg will bias all gain stages. Muting can be accomplished by setting Vg to the pinch-off voltage Vp (-2V). Vg 0.1 PF 100 pF 0.1 PF 100 pF 1 A typical DC biasing connection is shown in Figure 17. Vg and Vd can be biased from either side. The RF input port is connected internally to ground; therefore, an input decoupling capacitor is needed if the preceding output stage has DC present. The RF output is DC decoupled internally. No ground wired are needed since ground connections are made with plated through-holes to the backside of the device. 3 2 RF Input RF Output 8 4 7 5 6 100 pF 0.1 PF Figure 17. Schematic and recommended assemble example Note: No RF performance degradation is seen due to ESD up to 150V HBM and 40V MM. The DC characteristics in general show increased leakage at higher ESD discharge voltages. The user is reminded that this device is ESD sensitive and needs to be handled with all necessary ESD protocols. 8 Notes: 1. Vd may be biased from either side. 2. Vg may be biased from either side.
