Abstract :
Starting from the well known low-injection approximation, a closed form, analytical compact model is derived for the small-signal (SS) and forced quasi-periodic operation of junction diodes. The model determines the small-signal and conversion admittance matrix of the device as a function of the applied (dc or periodic-time varying) bias. Noise characteristics, in both the stationary (SS) and cyclostationary cases, are also evaluated by means of a Green´s function approach.
