Nominal bias for low noise operation is obtained for a typical current of 20 mA for the output stage and 15 mA for each of the two first stages ( 50 mA for the amplifier ). The first step to bias the amplifier is to tune the Vgs1&2 = -1V, and Vgs3 to drive 20 mA for the full amplifier. Then Vgs1&2 is reduced to obtain 50 mA of current through the amplifier. A fine tuning of the noise figure may be obtained by modifying the Vgs1&2 bias voltage, but keeping the previous value for Vgs3.
