Notes:
1. Measurements made on a fixed tuned production test board that was tuned for optimal gain match with reasonable noise figure at 4
80 mA bias. This circuit represents a trade-off between optimal noise match, maximum gain match and a realizable match based on
production test board requirements. Circuit losses have been de-embedded from actual measurements.
2. Quiescent drain current, I
DSQ
, is set with zero RF drive applied. As P
1dB
is approached, the drain current may increase or decrease
depending on frequency and dc bias point. At lower values of I
DSQ
the device is running closer to class B as power output approache
P
1dB
. This results in higher P
1dB
and higher PAE (power added efficiency) when compared to a device that is driven by a constant
current source as is typically done with active biasing.
