App Note [1] Biasing - As shown in the Pin Designations table, the device is operated by biasing VD1,2,3
at 4.0V with 30, 60, 80mA respectively. Additionally, a fixed voltage bias of -3V is required for mixer bias. It
is recommended to use active bias to keep the currents constant in order to maintain the best performance
over temperature. Depending on the supply voltage available and the power dissipation constraints, the
bias circuit may be a single transistor or a low power operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in
series with the drain supply used to sense the current. The gate of the pHEMT is controlled to maintain
correct drain current and thus drain voltage. The typical gate voltage needed to do this is -0.3V. Make
sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive
drain supply.
App Note [2] Board Layout - As shown in the board layout, it is recommended to provide 100pF
decoupling caps as close to the bias pins as possible, with additional 10 μF decoupling caps.
