Abstract
A physical model has been used to characterise the large-signal behaviour of a GaAs MESFET terminated with a wide range of load impedances and a new, automated, load-pull system developed to make measurements in order to verify the performance of the model. The heart of the measurement system is a motorised slide-screw tuner which operates over 2-18 GHz with reflection coefficients greater than 0.93 above 3 GHz.
