Harmonic Distortion Analysis of InP HBTs with 650 GHz f(max) for High Data Rate Communication Systems
Paper in proceeding, 2017

High frequency (h.f.) harmonic distortion (HD) of advanced InP heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with various emitter widths was investigated. Geometry scalable parameters for the compact model (CM) HICUM/L2 v. 2.34, featuring a two-region base-collector capacitance formulation, were extracted from temperature dependent DC and AC measurements of HBTs and from the special test structures. Single tone harmonic distortion and active two tone load pull measurements were carried out for different emitter area devices. The compact model was used for data analysis.
