DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The is an RF power N Channel enhancement mode field effect transistor (FET) designed especially for HF and VHF power amplifier applications. Motorola RF MOS FETs feature planar design for optimum manufacturability. Motorola Application Note AN11A, FETs in Theory and Practice, is suggested reading for those not familiar with the construction and characteristics of FETs. The major advantages of RF power FETs include high gain, low noise, simple bias systems, relative immunity from thermal runaway, and the ability to withstand severely mismatched loads without suffering damage. Power output can be varied over a wide range with a low power dc control signal, thus facilitating manual gain control, ALC and modulation. DC BIAS The is an enhancement mode FET and, therefore, does not conduct when drain voltage is applied without gate bias. A positive gate voltage causes drain current to flow (see Figure 1). RF power FETs require forward bias for optimum gain and power output. A Class AB condition with quiescent drain current (IDQ) in the 5 1 ma range is sufficient for many applications. For special requirements such as linear amplification, IDQ may have to be adjusted to optimize the critical parameters. The MOS gate is a dc open circuit. Since the gate bias circuit does not have to deliver any current to the FET, a simple resistive divider arrangement may sometimes suffice for this function. Special applications may require more elaborate gate bias systems. GAIN CONTROL Power output of the may be controlled from rated values down to the milliwatt region (> db reduction in power output with constant input power) by varying the dc gate voltage. This feature, not available in bipolar RF power devices, facilitates the incorporation of manual gain control, AGC/ALC and modulation schemes into system designs. A full range of power output control may require dc gate voltage excursions into the negative region. AMPLIFIER DESIGN Impedance matching networks similar to those used with bipolar transistors are suitable for. See Motorola Application Note AN71, Impedance Matching Networks Applied to RF Power Transistors. Both small signal scattering parameters and large signal impedance parameters are provided. Large signal impedances should be used for network designs wherever possible. While the s parameters will not produce an exact design solution for high power operation, they do yield a good first approximation. This is particularly useful at frequencies outside those presented in the large signal impedance plots. RF power FETs are triode devices and are therefore not unilateral. This, coupled with the very high gain, yields a device capable of self oscillation. Stability may be achieved using techniques such as drain loading, input shunt resistive loading, or feedback. S parameter stability analysis can provide useful information in the selection of loading and/or feedback to insure stable operation. The was characterized with a 7 ohm input shunt loading resistor. For further discussion of RF amplifier stability and the use of two port parameters in RF amplifier design, see Motorola Application Note AN15A. LOW NOISE OPERATION Input resistive loading will degrade noise performance, and noise figure may vary significantly with gate driving impedance. A low loss input matching network with its gate impedance optimized for lowest noise is recommended. 1
