Abstract
The development of an accurate nonlinear HSPICE model for a 3-×10-μm2 heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) is described. The model allows the simulation of nonlinear measurements such as gain at the 1-dB compression point (P 1 dB) and third-order intercept point. Experimental data characterizing an HBT at 12.5 GHz are presented, demonstrating the validity of the model for MMIC chip designs
