General & High Power Bias Tee

Bias tees are used to supply DC currents or voltages to RF devices, such as the FETs that are used in amplifiers. Bias tees are everywhere, from your cell phone's power amp to the front panel of your network analyser.

A bias tee is a classic example of a diplexer. In the figure below, an RF signal incident to the upper right port (labelled RF & DC)is delivered only to the upper left port (RF only). A DC signal (or very low frequency, or video, signal) can be passed from the upper right port to the lower right port (DC only). Properties that are important to a bias tee are RF bandwidth, insertion loss and mismatch at the two RF ports, the maximum DC current and video bandwidth of the DC port.
