By introducing DC constraints and formulating the modeling process as a complete and integrated optimization problem, the uniqueness and reliability of the extracted model parameters is improved. The approach uses multibias measurements and DC device characteristics in a sequential model building approach based on a decomposition dictionary that can be used to arrive at a suitable compromise between the simplicity and adequacy of the model. Novel automatic decomposition concepts for large-scale optimization are used to detect possible model topology deficiencies. A powerful l/sub 1/ optimization technique is used in the algorithm, and all the required gradients are provided through efficient adjoint analyses for both DC and AC sensitivities. A FET modeling example is described in detail to demonstrate the approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115105559","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}

The method has been applied to design doublers at low frequencies from 10-20 GHz and at millimeter-wave frequencies from 20-40 GHz.

Each tapered microstrip line is analyzed by dividing the line into small segments so that each segment can be approximated as a uniform line.

This value is then used to compute the characteristic impedance of that section of line and the S-parameters are obtained using standard microwave analysis. The S-matrix is converted into a T-matrix, and since the sections are cascaded, all T-matrices are multiplied to drive a final T-matrix. This final T-matrix is then converted into an S-matrix, which is frequency dependent, and the mismatch introduced by the taper is obtained from the S-matrix.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":339513,"journal":{"name":"1988., IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128436170","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}
