Abstract

A gate biasing circuit including a Schottky barrier diode in series with an ion implanted resistor for use with a baseband MMIC control components such as an MESFET. The diode gate biasing scheme improves the low frequency distortion characteristics of GaAs MESFET control components significantly, allowing microwave power handling and distortion characteristics to be maintained below 100 Hz.
