These values are representative of on-wafer measurements that are made without bonding
wires at the RF ports.
A bonding wire of typically 0.1 to 0.25nH will improve the matching at the accesses.
(1)
VD: LO-chain drain bias voltage.
VD1: LNA drain bias voltage.
An external combiner 90° is required on I / Q.
ID: LO-chain drain current around 125mA.
ID1: LNA drain current around 125mA, could be tuned with VGL.

Note: IDt is not affected by GC.
Electrostatic discharge sensitive device observe handling precautions!
