  • Abstract
    A new method for evaluating microelectrode capacitance in the modelling of microwave GaAs FET switches is presented. The method has been verified for two different FET gate structures over X-band. Expressions for predicting resonances in the switch performances given yield useful design information applicable to the frequency range 1-20 GHz
