Abstract :
A novel large-signal model implemented on the nonlinear time-domain program CIRCEC leads to accurate prediction of all the GaAs MESFET characteristics, needed for the design of a power amplifier. The good agreement between measured and modeled load-pull contours validates the chosen trends.
