A universal electrothermal FET model suitable for general large-signal applications

Abstract: A new general-purpose nonlinear MESFET model is proposed. The model is fully conservative to ensure physical consistency in large-signal operation, and accounts for lowfrequency dispersion, 3-rd order intermodulation, and temperature effects. It is valid for positive, zero, and negative drain-source voltages, and can thus be used in all kinds of nonlinear simulations, including active circuits, resistive mixers, and switches.

“…By this way, the device model will extend the range of V gs by separation of the DC and AC simulations. Nevertheless, this method still cannot make the g m dispersion agree with the R ds dispersion [13,14], which will always drive the model to nonconvergent. It has been proved that the dispersion effect is caused by the internal defects in the channel: some carriers are trapped in DC condition while released during AC operation, which will make the DC g m lower than the AC g m .…”
