Abstract:
A self-biasing RF circuit comprising:a circuit ground;at least first and second transistors each having respective first and second current-carrying terminals and a control terminal, the control terminal of each of said first and second transistors coupled to said circuit ground;a bias conductor coupling the first current-carrying terminal of each of said first and second transistors together;a voltage supply applying a bias voltage to the second current-carrying terminal of each of said first and second transistors;at least one resistance device coupling said bias conductor to said circuit ground, said at least one resistance device including first and second resistance portions and the control terminal of one of said at least first and second transistors being coupled to said circuit ground through said second resistance portion of said at least one resistance device for biasing the control terminal of said one transistor relative to the first current-carrying terminal of said one transistor.
