Abstract :
An electro-thermal physical model is described for HEMT multi-tone microwave and millimetre wave simulations. Comparisons of the results from the model with measured data are made and good agreement is obtained without fitting any of the parameters. The model is compatible with CAD requirements and is applied to multi-tone microwave and millimetre wave simulations for MMICs.
