  • Abstract
    This paper investigates measurement and modeling aspects of frequency dispersion effects for GaAs MESFETs. The well-known Root-model´s ability to simulate frequency dispersion is evaluated versus measurements. We propose an alternative frequency weighting function that can easily be implemented in the MDS-system. We also investigate the validity of this approach for “floating-gate” MESFETs and present, for the first time to our knowledge, measurement results for frequency dispersion in this type of device
