摘要: In order to investigate the influence of pad parasitics on device noise performance, parameters Si CMOS, GaAs MESFET and p-HEMT transistors were determined. Measurements devices with various gate widths demonstrate that parasitic losses pads substantially performance independent FET technology. To accurately separate contribution device, a parameter de-embedding procedure has been developed. It is shown for an improvement minimum figure NF/sub min/ non ideal substrates, must be minimized. Especially small input amplifiers, considered during modeling design. A mathematical using correlation matrices allows embedding parameters.
