  • Abstract
    A physically-based transient SPICE model was developed for GaAs MESFETs. The model accounts for both trapping and detrapping effects hence can simultaneously simulate low-frequency dispersion and gate-lag characteristics. This is different from conventional models which can simulate either effect but not both. The present model was verified in terms of pulsed I-V characteristics and digitally-modulated RF carrier waveforms.
