  • Abstract
    This paper presents the use of a nonlinear TOPASTM model to describe the behaviour of an AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PHEMT device. The extracted model features excellent agreement at DC and for small-signal excitation up to 120 GHz. The model is implemented by the IMST for Agilent EDA´s Series IVTM and ADSTM circuit simulators
