Abstract :
A distributed modelling approach for micro- and millimetre-wave FETs is presented. Model identification is directly carried out on the bases of S-parameter measurements and electromagnetic analysis of the device layout without requiring cumbersome optimisation techniques. Experimental results confirm that the model is consistent with device scaling
