| Abstract: | A new approach for accurately modelling MESFETs and HEMTs up to the high millimetre-wave range is described. The use of a distributed source configuration allows the characterisation of both single side grounded (SSG) and double side grounded (DSG) FETs in the common source and also in the reverse channel circuit configuration. The model has been verified up to 40 GHz with excellent results. To the authors' knowledge the effect of SSG has not been examined yet by any commercial CAD tool.<> |
