V1 App Note [1] Biasing - The device is operated with a single, positive bias supply. The device performance is insensitive to changes in bias condition; however, gain and power handling can be slightly improved with higher bias conditions without significantly affecting the noise figure performance. Typical biasing conditions within the specified performance ranges are Vd=3 V, 35 mA, Vd=4 V, 45 mA, Vd=5 V, 55 mA.
