A novel technique for the extraction of nonlinear model for microwave transistors under dynamic-bias operation
Paper i proceeding, 2013

In this work we describe a novel technique for the extraction of nonlinear model for microwave transistors from nonlinear measurements obtained by simultaneously driving the device under test with low- and high-frequency excitations. Specifically, the large-signal operating point of the device is set by large-signal low-frequency excitations. On top of these a tickle tone at high-frequency is applied. In this way, one can separate the contributions of the IDS current source and the charge sources by a single measurement. The nonlinear model, based on equations available in commercial CAD tools, is extracted for a 0.15 μm GaAs pHEMT. Good agreement is obtained between model predictions and experimental data.
