An equivalent circuit of the forward biased FET valid in a low frequency limit which allows to determine the gate, source and drain parasitic resistances from the measured parameters was developed. The ideality factor of the gate diode and the channel resistance can also be simply determined. The method does not require separate DC characterisation and can be applied in conjunction with the small-signal microwave S-matrix measurements.","PeriodicalId":208245,"journal":{"name":"1987 17th European Microwave Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115701838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This versatile type of ridge structure can be considered a unified structure for evanescent-mode ridge waveguide lowpass and bandpass harmonic filters. A great deal of flexibility in the choice of size, power handling capability, out-of-band isolation, and bandwidth can be achieved. The accuracy of the analysis has been verified by the development of a widehand bandpass filter using evanescent mode serrated double antipodal ridge structure.

An optimal operating point, from the standpoint of minimum noise figure, can thus be determined for transistor biasing conditions and the LO input power.","PeriodicalId":208245,"journal":{"name":"1987 17th European Microwave Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125329621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Localised hyperthermia techniques are an attempt to reach this ideal situation, while regional and whole body hyperthermia are more systemic.
