For medium power operation, the four drain biases are connected altogether. In a same way, all the
gate biases are connected together at the same power supply, tuned to drive a small signal
operating current of 300mA. A separate access to the gate voltages of the two first stages ( Vg1,2 )
is provided in order to be able to tune the first stages for the application, as a lower noise amplifier or
a multiplier.
An additional pad is provided for monitoring the output power, using the Build In Test. This access,
when connected to an external resistor of 10 kOhm ( typical value ) provides a DC voltage which
follows the output power level.
