The extrinsic elements are optimized at multi-bias points and the intrinsic ones at specific bias points. Only broad ranges of extrinsic parameters are required, and the extraction is unique and accurate. This method has been verified by 2 × 75 and 4 ×100 um gate width InGaAs pHEMTs from 1 GHz to 40 GHz. Excellent agreement is achieved between the measured and modeled S-parameters at all the biases and the conservation of the gate charge is well satisfied which further validates this novel extraction method.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"46 77","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91510846","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}

By using the FMIR-MoM, the electromagnetic properties over a wide frequency band can be quickly obtained. In this method, smaller frequency band division is not needed while it is required in the interpolation techniques. The memory requirement is comparable to the later ones. However, the special treatment is yet needed when dealing with the singularity term. The barycentric subdivision-based quadrature is applied in impedance fill-in, in which the singular integral can be avoided. Two numerical examples are included to test the accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6625,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and Processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81882642","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}
