(1) Parameter can be adjusted by tuning of Vg.
(2) 0.5V variation on Vd leads to around 0.4dB variation of the output power (impact on
robustness see Maximum ratings).

Operation of this device above anyone of these parameters may cause permanent
damage.
For higher compression the level limit can be increased by decreasing the voltage
Vd using the rate 0.5V/dBc.
Without RF input power.
