The recommended biasing procedure during power-up is as The amplifier uses two field effect transistors (FETs) in series, follows: source to drain. The basic schematic for a fundamental cell is 1.

Decrease VDD to 0 V. 5. Increase VGG1 to 0 V. The VDD = 5 V and IDQ = 55 mA bias conditions are the operating points recommended to optimize the overal performance. Unless otherwise noted, the data shown is taken using the recommended bias conditions. Operation of the HMC753 at different bias conditions may result in performance that differs from the Typical Performance Characteristics shown in the data sheet. Biasing the HMC753 for higher drain current typical y results in higher P1dB and output IP3 at the expense of increased power consumption. Rev.
