Abstract

A versatile pulsed I(V) and 40 GHz pulsed S parameters measurement system of microwave transistors is described Capability of discrimination between thermal and trapping effects with a pulse set-up is demonstrated A method to measure electrically the thermal resistance and capacitance of transistors with a pulse set-up is proposed Finally, it is explained how to derive transistor nonlinear characteristics from these measurements for modeling purposes.
