Note: The recommended method for measuring
IDSS, or any particular IDS, is to set the Drain-Source
voltage (VDS) at 1.3V. This measurement point
avoids the onset of spurious self-oscillation which
would normally distort the current measurement
(this effect has been filtered from the I-V curves
presented above). Setting the VDS > 1.3V will

Recommendation: Traditionally a device’s IDSS
rating (IDS at VGS = 0V) was used as a predictor of
RF power, and for MESFETs there is a correlation
between IDSS and P1dB (power at 1dB gain
compression). For pHEMTs it can be shown that
there is no meaningful statistical correlation

sometimes useful as a guide to circuit tuning, since
the S22 does vary with the quiescent operating
