  • Abstract
    We present the first surface-potential based compact model for RF GaN HEMTs and benchmark our work against both numerical simulations and device measurements. It is expected that such an approach will be superior to other modeling techniques in terms of scalability and model performance for applications where accurate distortion modeling is of paramount importance.
