For Gallium Nitride (GaN) based Field Effect Transistors (FETs) the safe operating area is wide, which means that the required number of bias points is very large. Consequently, the total measurement time increases to an impractical level. To reduce the total volume of experimental data and hence the measurement time, while still adequately capturing the non-linear device characteristics, a new adaptive measurement algorithm has been applied. This algorithm places more bias points in regions where the device characteristics changes rapidly and less bias points in regions where the device response stays constant. A comparison is made between S-parameter and Y-parameter based selection criteria. Finally, a GaN FET's non-linear model is constructed and good agreement is achieved between measurement and model results, verifying the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":444012,"journal":{"name":"2005 66th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115844802","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}

Next, in order to obtain the high isolation from transmitter (T<inf>x</inf>) to receiver (R<inf>x</inf>), we attached the phase control line, which can be used as impedance matching, in front of each BPF in a duplexer. Finally, we design the T<inf>x</inf>-and R<inf>x</inf>-BPF matched to the input impedance of the antenna and phase control line. In the duplexer, R<inf>x</inf> 2-pole BPF has center frequency=10.3GHz and bandwidth=40MHz, and T<inf>x</inf> BPF has center frequency=10.7GHz and bandwidth=40MHz.","PeriodicalId":444012,"journal":{"name":"2005 66th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114439417","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 system was constructed using an Anritsu 37397C Lightning Vector Network Analyzer, along with an external switch, a digital delay generator, and a custom bias tee. A series of benchmarking tests, using passive and active DUTs, was performed to exercise and validate the system. A range of test setup conditions, including varied pulse lengths and duty cycles, were examined. A passive filter was used to explore the dynamic range and effective noise floor of the pulsed S-parameter measurement as compared to CW measurements. Finally, a Si LDMOSFET was measured and the pulsed- and continuous-bias measurement results were found to show dispersion in |S21| due to device self-heating in the continuous-bias case.","PeriodicalId":444012,"journal":{"name":"2005 66th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128054540","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}

Full 2-port S-parameter measurements with 40 dB or greater system dynamic range is realized in the 325 to 500 GHz frequency range. The stimulus millimeter wave signal is generated via multipliers with an external microwave synthesizer input. The reference and test response are down-converted to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) via millimeter wave harmonic mixers.
