The MAAL-011129 has an integrated active bias
circuit and bias tee to allow direct connection to VDD
without external chokes or DC blocks. The bias
current is set by a simple external resistor, RB, so
the user can customize the power consumption.
When VBIAS = 0 V, the device is placed in power
down mode.
