It utilizes a 0.25 µm x 750 µm Schottky barrier Gate, defined by high-resolution stepperbased photolithography. The recessed and offset Gate structure minimizes parasitics to optimize performance, with an epitaxial structure designed for improved linearity over a range of bias conditions and input power levels. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: • • • Drivers or output stages in PCS/Cellular base station transmitter amplifiers High intercept-point LNAs WLL and WLAN systems, and other types of wireless infrastructure systems.

Ideally the bottom of the circuit board is affixed to a heatsink or thermal radiator BIASING GUIDELINES: • • • Active bias circuits provide good performance stabilization over variations of operating temperature, but require a larger number of components compared to self-bias or dual-biased. Such circuits should include provisions to ensure that Gate bias is applied before Drain bias, otherwise the pHEMT may be induced to self-oscillate Dual-bias circuits are relatively simple to implement, but will require a regulated negative voltage supply for depletion-mode devices. For standard Class A operation, a 50% of IDSS bias point is recommended. A small amount of RF gain expansion prior to the onset of compression is normal for this operating point. Note that pHEMTs, since they are “quasi- E/D mode” devices, exhibit Class AB traits when operated at 50% of IDSS. To achieve a larger separation between P1dB and IP3, an operating point in the 25% to 33% of IDSS range is suggested. Such Class AB operation will not degrade the IP3 performance. 2 Tel: +44 (0) 1325 301111 Specifications subject to change without notice Filtronic Compound Semiconductors Ltd Fax: +44 (0) 1325 306177 Email: [email protected] Website: www.filtronic.com FPD1500DFN Datasheet v3.0 TYPICAL TUNED RF PERFORMANCE: FPD1500DFN Biased @ VD = 5V ID = 50%IDSS FPD1500DFN Biased @ VD = 5V, ID = 50%IDSS 35 1.5 MSG 10 0.75 0.5 0.25 5 0 10.4 11.4 12 0.5 17.0 SSG (dB) P1dB (dBm) 5 5.5 6 1.30 1.00 0.70 N.F.

This measurement point avoids the onset of spurious self-oscillation which would normally distort the current measurement (this effect has been filtered from the I-V curves presented above). Setting the VDS > 1.3V will generally cause errors in the current measurements, even in stabilized circuits. Recommendation: Traditionally a device’s IDSS rating (IDS at VGS = 0V) was used as a predictor of RF power, and for MESFETs there is a correlation between IDSS and P1dB (power at 1dB gain compression). For pHEMTs it can be shown that there is no meaningful statistical correlation between IDSS and P1dB; specifically a linear regression analysis shows r2 < 0.7, and the regression fails the F-statistic test. IDSS is sometimes useful as a guide to circuit tuning, since the S22 does vary with the quiescent operating point IDS. 5 Tel: +44 (0) 1325 301111 Specifications subject to change without notice Filtronic Compound Semiconductors Ltd Fax: +44 (0) 1325 306177 Email: [email protected] Website: www.filtronic.com FPD1500DFN Datasheet v3.0 NOISE PARAMETERS: Bias 3V, 50%IDSS Bias 5V, 25%IDSS Γopt Freq (GHz) Mag Angle 0.900 1.800 2.000 2.200 2.400 2.600 2.800 3.000 3.500 4.000 4.500 5.000 5.500 6.000 0.345 0.384 0.401 0.448 0.463 0.483 0.482 0.503 0.487 0.513 0.506 0.521 0.563 0.570 18.350 86.350 97.050 116.200 129.200 137.900 146.800 149.850 160.750 172.500 177.500 -172.250 -160.450 -153.650 Γopt Freq Rn/50 0.029 0.043 0.039 0.032 0.031 0.034 0.022 0.022 0.023 0.020 0.035 0.027 0.031 0.041 Rn/50 (GHz) Mag Angle 0.900 1.800 2.000 2.200 2.400 2.600 2.800 3.000 3.500 4.000 4.500 5.000 5.500 6.000 0.367 0.416 0.445 0.454 0.450 0.502 0.467 0.475 0.478 0.495 0.490 0.497 0.544 0.558 27.250 75.400 80.800 103.150 125.500 129.550 135.950 142.050 151.550 163.200 168.500 179.700 -168.300 -161.200 0.030 0.046 0.042 0.035 0.034 0.028 0.023 0.023 0.024 0.020 0.034 0.024 0.023 0.028 Bias 5V, 50%IDSS Γopt Freq Rn/50 (GHz) Mag Angle 0.900 1.800 2.000 2.200 2.400 2.600 2.800 3.000 3.500 4.000 4.500 5.000 5.500 6.000 0.181 0.283 0.346 0.400 0.426 0.450 0.445 0.485 0.470 0.492 0.500 0.509 0.554 0.568 73.550 91.250 100.550 119.700 131.450 136.800 148.400 156.550 163.800 175.300 -178.800 -169.350 -158.100 -150.900 0.038 0.051 0.047 0.038 0.036 0.039 0.028 0.026 0.029 0.026 0.042 0.036 0.042 0.054 6 Tel: +44 (0) 1325 301111 Specifications subject to change without notice Filtronic Compound Semiconductors Ltd Fax: +44 (0) 1325 306177 Email: [email protected] Website: www.filtronic.com FPD1500DFN Datasheet v3.0 S-PARAMETERS: Biased @ 5V, 50%IDSS FREQ[GHz] S11m S11a S21m S21a S12m S12a S22m S22a 0.500 1.000 1.500 2.000 2.500 3.000 3.500 4.000 4.500 5.000 5.500 6.000 6.500 7.000 7.500 8.000 8.500 9.000 9.500 10.000 10.500 11.000 11.500 12.000 0.841 0.770 0.770 0.760 0.775 0.773 0.768 0.765 0.759 0.753 0.751 0.761 0.766 0.769 0.760 0.756 0.759 0.771 0.768 0.775 0.803 0.800 0.808 0.817 -91.2 -134.6 -157.8 -173.0 176.0 168.8 163.2 158.2 152.8 145.2 138.5 131.1 124.7 118.9 113.7 108.6 103.5 97.8 93.1 87.6 82.4 76.0 69.5 63.9 19.661 12.134 8.561 6.590 5.303 4.514 3.898 3.471 3.160 2.878 2.625 2.407 2.204 2.018 1.845 1.717 1.643 1.573 1.510 1.453 1.419 1.328 1.275 1.208 126.2 102.2 87.3 77.3 68.3 61.0 53.4 46.6 39.0 32.1 24.9 17.7 10.3 3.7 -2.6 -7.8 -13.6 -19.1 -25.8 -32.5 -39.8 -47.2 -53.2 -59.7 0.023 0.031 0.037 0.040 0.045 0.051 0.056 0.064 0.069 0.076 0.084 0.089 0.092 0.097 0.100 0.105 0.113 0.121 0.136 0.145 0.155 0.164 0.170 0.177 51.0 41.1 38.0 35.6 38.0 35.7 35.0 32.2 32.4 29.2 24.8 20.4 14.8 10.3 6.7 6.2 3.1 -1.7 -5.3 -12.3 -17.9 -22.5 -27.9 -32.2 0.294 0.308 0.317 0.324 0.339 0.345 0.349 0.355 0.365 0.372 0.377 0.380 0.385 0.388 0.392 0.396 0.408 0.418 0.428 0.451 0.465 0.475 0.489 0.502 -137.3 -159.7 -168.0 -175.2 179.6 173.0 166.4 159.1 154.0 148.1 145.1 140.3 135.0 129.1 123.8 120.8 117.8 114.3 110.0 104.3 97.9 91.1 86.5 79.2 7 Tel: +44 (0) 1325 301111 Specifications subject to change without notice Filtronic Compound Semiconductors Ltd Fax: +44 (0) 1325 306177 Email: [email protected] Website: www.filtronic.com FPD1500DFN Datasheet v3.0 REFERENCE DESIGN (5.3 – 5.9GHZ) -Vg Vd 1.0uF 1.0uF FPD1500DFN EVAL Board Schematic 15pF 15pF 20 Ohm Z16 Z10 Z15 Z9 15pF 1 RF IN (50 Ohm) Z5 Z1 Z0 2 4 1 3 Z2 Z1 Z3 2 4 1 3 Z4 Z14 Z8 Z6 2 4 15pF 1 3 Z7 Z5 Z11 3 Z13 Z17 Z18 Z19 RF OUT (50 Ohm) Z14 Z8 Desc.
