App Note [1] Biasing - The device provides variable gain with adjustable bias regulation. For optimum linearity performance, it is recommended
to bias this device at Vd=4V with Id=90 mA. It is also recommended to use active biasing to control the drain currents because this gives the most
reproducible results over temperature or RF level variations. 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
-0.5V. Typically the gate is protected with Silicon diodes to limit the applied voltage. Also, make sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure
negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain supply.
