Abstract :
An empirical equation for simulating the bias dependency of the junction capacitances of the GaAs MESFET is presented and compared with existing techniques. It provides increased accuracy over a wide range of silicon and GaAs devices for microwave circuit design applications and up to 72% savings in CPU execution speed over existing techniques
