conditions, it can deliver output power greater than
90 W, with 30 dB typical associated gain and 60%
typical power added efficiency.
Flexible design allows for gate and/or drain pulsing.
Additional features include a gate voltage sense port
for use in temperature compensation or pulse droop
compensation. The overall package size is very
small, only 14x24 mm
2
. The module’s compact size,
combined with excellent RF performance makes this
product an ideal solution for pulsed RADAR
applications where low cost, light weight and small
size are the key.

Parts are measured and sampled in the evaluation
board shown on the left. The board is made of
8-mil thick RO4003C and is bolted onto a Ni-plated
Aluminum plate. Electrical and thermal ground is
provided using a Cu-filled via-hole array (pictured
below). Very few external components are used, as
DC blocks are not required.
Bias Sequencing
Turning the device ON
1. Set V

to the pinch-off value (V
P
), typically -6 V.
2. Turn on V
D
to nominal voltage (50 V).
3. Increase V
G
to desired quiescent current.
4. Apply RF power to desired level.
Turning the device OFF
1. Turn off RF power.
2. Decrease V
