  • Abstract
    The existence of small signal intermodulation distortion (IMD) "sweet spots" in RF Power LDMOS FETs is accurately predicted through a not previously reported complete characterization of the Ids(Vgs,Vds) Taylor-series coefficients. These results have been employed in optimizing the nonlinear distortion behavior of a 1.8 GHz power amplifier.
