Abstract
An original approach to extracting the thermal equivalent circuits of bipolar transistors is described. This work is based on specific pulsed, DC and thermal measurements that allow various thermal time constants effects to be separated. The proposed modelling method is applied to determine the thermal behaviour of a high power microwave silicon bipolar transistor
