Abstract :
In this paper, the base/collector current characteristics of InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT´s) for Volterra analysis are extracted by using the low-frequency harmonic power measurements with the associated phase polarity information. The determining equations are derived in a systematic approach to acquire the general expressions to any nonlinear orders. Simulations and experiments of two-tone intermodulation distortions for a HBT device verify the extracted results.
