link to page 14 HMC943APM5EData SheetTHEORY OF OPERATION The HMC943APM5E is a GaAs, pHEMT, MMIC, >1.5 W power Device drain connections for al stages are available at the package amplifier consisting of four cascaded gain stages. A simplified leads. Gate voltage bias can be applied to either VG1 or VG2 schematic is shown in Figure 48. The input signal is evenly divided because the bias is internally connected to the gates of devices and amplified through four gain stages. These amplified signals for all stages. are then recombined at the output. Both inputs and outputs are internal y matched to 50 Ω for ease of use.
