A single external resistor connected between pin 4 and GND allows variation of current between 470mA and 150mA (typ.). Within the recommended range of current between 470mA and 370mA gain (S21) change is less than 0.2dB and noise figure change is less than 0.1dB. If pin 4 is not connected the devices operates at maximum current, see table below.
