DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The MRF174 is a RF power N±Channel enhancement mode field±effect transistor (FET) designed especially for UHF power amplifier and oscillator applications. Motorola RF MOSFETs 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 thermal runaway, and the ability to withstand severely mismatched 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 MRF174 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 9 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 MRF174 was charac-
terized at IDQ = 100 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 MRF174 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 8.)
AMPLIFIER DESIGN
Impedance matching networks similar to those used with bipolar UHF transistors are suitable for MRF174. See Motorola Application Note AN721, Impedance Matching Networks Applied to RF Power Transistors. The higher input impedance of RF MOSFETs helps ease the task of broadband network design. Both small signal scattering parameters and large signal 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.
