Title :
Nonlinear FET modeling-a mixture of art and science
Abstract :
Summary form only given. The nonlinear FET modeling work directed toward development of computer-aided-design (CAD) techniques was surveyed. Emphasis was given to microwave applications, although FET models for digital circuits were also discussed. Particular attention was given to active device modeling; equivalent circuit models (complexity, calibration, and verification); and applications of GaAs FET models in commercial simulators for the design and optimization of hybrid and MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) circuits.<>
