Abstract :
An automated system has been developed which measures the small-signal gm and go of FET´s over a wide bias and frequency range. This behaviour has been investigated in GaAs MESFET´s and several distinct mechanisms have been observed. Backgating has also been measured and related to the gm dispersions of the same device.
