Abstract:In this paper the small-signal equivalent circuit model of SiGe:C heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) has directly been extracted from S-parameter data. Circuit simulations by the use of neural network architecture and a standard IHP 0.13 um BiCMOS technology confirmed our design goals. To check the capability of the direct approach, scattering parameters were generated and compared with Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Then measured and model-calculated data have represented an excellent agreement with less than 0.166% discrepancy in the frequency range of > 300 GHz over a wide range of bias points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
