Abstract
For the single connected gate common-source transistor, in a 0.8µm MESFET process, fmax was measured to be 50 GHz and for the double connected gate fmax was 58GHz. There is better than 16% improvement in bandwidth of the double connected gate over the single connected gate. The reduced Rg due to the double connection on the gate should contribute to a lower noise transistor. It was also shown that for the common gate transistor fmax also increased.
