Typical Bias Tuning for Low Noise Operation
For low noise operation, a separate access to the gate voltages of the first stage ( Vgs1 ), and of the
second and third stages ( Vgs2 ) is provided.
Nominal bias for low noise operation is obtained for a typical current of 20 mA for the second and third
stages and 10 mA for the first stage ( 50 mA for the amplifier ).
The first step to bias the amplifier is to tune the Vgs1 = -1V, and Vgs2 to drive 40 mA for the full
amplifier. Then Vgs1 is reduced to obtain 50 mA of current through the amplifier.
A fine tuning of the noise figure may be obtained by modifying the Vgs1 bias voltage, but keeping the
previous value for Vgs2.
