Abstract :
Highly linear InP-based HEMTs have been obtained for the first time by optimising the pulse profile of a double pulse doped AlInAs/GaInAs/InP layer structure. The two-tone measurements performed at f1=4.5 GHz and f2=4.51 GHz yielded a third-order intercept (IP3) of 31.5 dBm on a 50 μm-wide InP HEMT device. The linearity figure of merit (LFOM), defined as IP3/Pdc , was 41
