-'l'lte.applicallon of GaAs field effect transistors in digital circuits requires a vaild description by an equivalent circuit at all possible .;ate arid dl'ain bias voltages for all frequendes from de up to lbe GHz ra4ge. This paper describes an equivalent circuit which takes into account ihe galt current of positively biased transistors as well as lbe symme~rical natun of lbe devices at low drain voltages. A fast method to determine the elements of tbe equivalent circuit from mea路 sured S parameters b presented which delivers for the first time very good agreement for all ope. rating points.
