The MRF137 is a RF power N–Channel enhancement mode field–effect transistor (FET) designed especially for VHF power amplifier applications. Motorola RF MOS FET s feature a vertical structure with a planar design, thus avoiding the processing difficulties associated with V–groove vertical power FETs. Motorola Application Note AN211A, FETs in Theory and Practice, is suggested reading for those not familiar with the construction and characteristics of FETs. The major advantages of RF power FETs include high gain, low noise, simple bias systems, relative immunity from ther- mal runaway, and the ability to withstand severely mis- matched loads without suffering damage. Power output can be varied over a wide range with a low power dc control signal, thus facilitating manual gain control, ALC and modulation. DC BIAS The MRF137 is an enhancement mode FET and, therefore, does not conduct when drain voltage is applied. Drain current flows when a positive voltage is applied to the gate. See Figure 10 for a typical plot of drain current versus gate voltage. RF power FETs require forward bias for optimum performance. The value of quiescent drain current (IDQ ) is not critical for many applications. The MRF137 was characterized at IDQ = 25 mA, which is the suggested minimum value of IDQ . For special applications such as linear amplification, IDQ may have to be selected to optimize the critical parameters. The gate is a dc open circuit and draws no current. Therefore, the gate bias circuit may generally be just a simple resistive divider network. Some special applications may require a more elaborate bias system. GAIN CONTROL Power output of the MRF137 may be controlled from its rated value down to zero (negative gain) by varying the dc gate voltage. This feature facilitates the design of manual gain control, AGC/ALC and modulation systems. (See Figure 9.) AMPLIFIER DESIGN Impedance matching networks similar to those used with bi- polar VHF transistors are suitable for MRF137. See Motorola Applied to RF Power Transistors. The higher input impedance of RF MOS FET s helps ease the task of broadband network design. Both small signal scattering parameters and large sig- nal impedances are provided. While the s–parameters will not produce an exact design solution for high power operation, they do yield a good first approximation. This is an additional advantage of RF MOS power FETs. RF power FETs are triode devices and, therefore, not unilateral. This, coupled with the very high gain of the MRF137, yields a device capable of self oscillation. Stability may be achieved by techniques such as drain loading, input shunt resistive loading, or output to input feedback. Two port parameter stability analysis with the MRF137 s–parameters provides a useful tool for selection of loading or feedback circuitry to assure stable operation. See Motorola Application Note AN215A for a discussion of two port network theory and stability.
