Abstract
Voltage suppression devices are needed in electronic systems to prevent damage to electrical components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. Transmission line pulse testing of GaAs dual mode power amplifiers to determine ESD threshold damage voltages demonstrates the importance of polymer voltage-suppressor device trigger and clamping voltage for module ESD protection.
